DIVORCE & SEPARATION

Communication is one of the foundations of any relationship. When dialogue breaks down completely, conflict often becomes entrenched and emotionally damaging. One of the most harmful communication patterns identified in couple dynamics is stonewalling.

Pensions and divorce
Divorce is never purely emotional — it is also deeply financial. Among all the assets that must be considered when a marriage ends, pension rights are often the most misunderstood and underestimated. Yet for many couples, pensions represent one of the most valuable long-term assets, sometimes exceeding the value of the family home.

CHILD LAW
Third party and grandparents rights
When families break down, a minor can find himself in a middle of conflicts and distanced from their relatives and siblings such as the grandparents.
Parents have parental responsibility for their child(ren) opposed to grandparents who don’t automatically have parental responsibility and they are referred as third parties.
Fertility lawyer
Fertility lawyers play a crucial role in guiding individuals and couples through the legal complexities of fertility treatment in France. They offer legal advice, draft contracts, and ensure compliance with regulations, protecting the rights and interests of their clients.
Child custody
In France, when a couple is getting a divorce, agreeing on child or children custody is a turning point and disputes raise. In France, couples have 2 options: either they find a joint solution or the family Court Judge will settle the dispute.
Whatever the dispute solution is, parents will have to come to an agreement based on 3 types of custody: “la garde Classique” or flexible custody arrangements in english, “la garde alternée” or joint residency in English et la “garde réduite” or sole custody in English.

Criminal family law
Post separation abuse lawyer
Leaving a relationship does not always end the abuse. In many cases, control, manipulation or intimidation intensify after separation, especially when children, finances or property remain entangled. This is known as post-separation abuse — a pattern of coercive behaviour that continues after the relationship ends.
Protection orders
In France, a protection order or restraining order is known as “ordonnance de protection.” It is a legal measure made to protect victims of domestic abuse or harassment. This order can be issued by a judge and may include a range of provisions to ensure the safety and well-being of the person who has been subjected to abuse or threats. The specific provisions of a protection order can vary based on the individual circumstances.
Domestic abuse
In France, domestic abuse is referred to as “violences conjugales” or “violences au sein du couple.” It encompasses a range of behaviours that occur within a domestic or marital relationship and can include physical violence, psychological abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and economic control.
The definition and legal consequences of domestic abuse in France are primarily governed by the French Civil Law and the French criminal Law (‘’Code Pénal). The specific legal provisions related to domestic abuse can be complex and may vary depending on the circumstances and the severity of the abuse.

Financial matters
Enforcement of financial orders
Divorce often implies the division of assets and the establishment of financial obligations. These financial arrangements can include spousal support, child maintenance, or the distribution of shared property. The enforcement of such financial orders can vary significantly between different legal systems, influenced by local laws, court practices, and cultural norms.
Bullying in the workplace lawyer
Workplace bullying is a significant issue that can lead to severe consequences for both employees and employers. It damages employee well-being, reduces productivity, and can create a toxic work environment. Different legal systems address workplace bullying in distinct ways, particularly when comparing the French civil law system with the common law system found in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
Marriage lawyer
In today’s globalized world, the boundaries of love and partnership extend far beyond national borders, leading to a growing phenomenon of international marriage. For French citizens, the prospect of marrying someone from another country brings both excitement and challenges, as they embark on a journey that transcends cultural, legal, and logistical boundaries.
