DIVORCE & SEPARATION

Separated parents choosing school

Separated parents choosing school

Deciding on a school for a child can be a complex issue for any parent, but when parents are separated, the process can become even more challenging.
In France, choosing a school for a child involves not only practical considerations but also legal obligations.
Choosing a school for a child is one of the most significant decisions that parents make, and it becomes even more complex when parents are separated. In France, as in the UK, both parents must share the responsibility and agree on their child’s schooling. If disagreements arise, mediation is the preferred first step, but court intervention may be necessary if no agreement is reached. Financial responsibilities, parental rights, and the child’s best interests must all be considered carefully in these situations.
