DIVORCE & SEPARATION
Child care proceedings lawyer
Child welfare systems play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable children.
Both the UK and France have established systems to protect children from neglect, abuse, and other harmful situations.
However, while their goals are similar, their structures, processes, and legal frameworks differ significantly.
The child welfare systems in the UK and France share a common goal of protecting children, but they differ in their approaches to care proceedings, foster care, and legal involvement.
Collaborative Law
Going to Court is not always the best solution to resolve a dispute.
We tend to say that going to court ends with ‘one party wins’ ‘one party loses’. The reality is not that straight forward.
Winning a dispute sometimes involves losing bonds and relationships with a child, a partner, a mother…
Paying for divorce
Around 130,000 divorces are granted each year in France, but at what cost?
The primary expense during a divorce is related to lawyer fees, which are not fixed and vary depending on the reputation of the firm and the complexity of your circumstances. Notary fees must also be considered when calculating the overall cost of a divorce.
Generally speaking, the more contentious a separation is, with repeated disputes, the higher these costs will be.

Contempt of court in Family law
Contempt of court is a critical concept in legal systems around the world, designed to uphold the authority and dignity of courts. It encompasses a broad range of behaviours, from disrupting court proceedings to failing to comply with court orders.
In family law, contempt often arises when one party disobeys a court order relating to child custody, visitation, or financial support.

Postnuptial agreement
Marital agreement definition
A set of financial rules and duties regarding marital life here is the definition of a marital agreement. Before getting married spouses can agree on how they want to manage financial matters within their household such as getting a pre-nuptial agreement. If the spouses do not attend a prenup agreement (for the French law), then they will automatically get involved into the universal community of assets.
Prenuptial agreement
Regarding French Law, prenuptial or marital property agreement is a legal document drawn up between a couple before their marriage to manage their assets and the type of marital agreement they want.
This is sometimes difficult to understand as even if prenuptial agreement are a common thing in other countries, choosing the right type of agreement does not exist in Common Law.
Legal consequences depending on the type of agreement are finally understood and lead to arguments when spouses decide to get an international divorce. This is also true when expats were not aware of their marital agreement and the law does not correspond to their culture.
If you are a French expat or you have assets as your partner in France or whatever your citizenship is, we advise to get a bilingual international family law lawyer.
