CHILD LAW
Adoption
In France there are 2 types of adoption.
In the UK there are 4 main types of adoption: fostering to adopt, adoption of a child from foster care, non-agency adoption and overseas adoption.
In the US, there are 5 types of adoption: adopting through the Child Welfare system (foster care), private adoption, international adoption, relative adoption and adult adoption.
Surrogacy
Surrogacy, also known as surrogacy or “GPA” (Gestation Pour Autrui), involves a contractual arrangement between a woman, commonly referred to as a “surrogate mother,” and a couple known as the “intended parents.”
In surrogacy, a couple can hire the services of a surrogate mother to carry and give birth to a child on their behalf. Subsequently, the surrogate mother relinquishes custody of the child to the intended parents upon the child’s birth.
Children maintenance
Children maintenance definition
Children maintenance is a set of payments made from one parent to another to help pay for your child’s living costs. It’s paid by the parent who doesn’t usually live with the child to the person who has most day-to-day care of the child and called ’child support’.
This payment is not only based on day-to-day care of the child but also on both parents’ earnings.

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.
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
Calculating child maintenance payments
Child maintenance calculations can vary between countries, and both France and the UK have their own systems for determining child maintenance payments.
United Kingdom (UK):
In the UK, child maintenance payments are typically determined by the Child Maintenance Service (CMS), which is a government agency. The CMS uses a formula to calculate the amount of child maintenance that the non-residential parent (the parent who doesn’t have the main day-to-day care of the child) should pay. The formula considers factors such as the non-residential parent’s gross income, the number of children involved, and the number of nights the children spend with the non-residential parent.
Spousal maintenance
Only spouses so married couples may be entitled to a maintenance claim or to pay for spousal maintenance and your lawyer’s firm can help you calculate the award.
Spousal maintenance definition:
Spousal maintenance is a payment paid by a spouse to the other spouse if a spouse doesn’t have enough income after you’re separated from the other.
When a spouse has much higher income than the other, there may need to be a period of ongoing financial support in order not to affect the well-being of the other.
The paying spouse is the debtor and the one receiving the allowance is the recipient.
Divorce with a business involved
The life of a company is shaped by economic and legislative changes, but these elements do not determine a company’s viability. Indeed, financial and management issues can come up when getting a divorce.
Despite private and emotional issues a business owner may have, you can face financial and legal consequences putting your company at risk.
When getting a divorce, the company’s future will be based on your matrimonial property regime and contractual agreements.
