In France, a mutual consent divorce is known as “divorce par consentement mutuel” or “divorce by mutual consent.” It is a specific type of divorce process that allows a married couple to end their marriage amicably without going through a lengthy and contentious legal battle.
The spouses, often with the assistance of their respective lawyers, draft a “convention de divorce” or divorce agreement. This document outlines the terms of the divorce, including how property, assets, and liabilities will be divided, child custody arrangements, and any other relevant issues.
