The post France – Divorce – simplification for non French – from 01 January 2021 first appeared on Gregory Hanson.
]]>Spouses wishing to divorce with French Courts, no longer have to travel to France to be divorced.
From the 01 January 2021, divorce procedure in France is substantially simplified for spouses connected to France but with some international element, for instance married in France but living abroad, married abroad but at least one spouse is a French citizen.
Before 01 January 2021, it was compulsory for spouses wishing to divorce in France to travel to France which could prove complicated especially with the current travel restriction.
The procedure is now essentially a written one where spouses can be represented by a lawyer.
This considerably simplifies procedures particularly in non disputed divorces.
Our divorce packages start from 1500 € including VAT.
The practice is available to answer all your questions.

]]>The post How is the amount of child support determined by the Judge? first appeared on Gregory Hanson.
]]>In case of shared custody, the Judge will only rarely grant support if there is a very substantial difference of income between parents.
There is no fixed scale established by statute.
Each judge will estimate the amount of monthly support necessary depending on the income and expenses of the parents, the age and needs of the child, the number of children.
For instance with an income of 2000 €/ Month a parent could expect to pay for one child between 150 and 300 € Month.
At any time until the child is capable of supporting itself, a parent can ask a judge to increase of reduce the amount of support depending on the changes in the situation of parents and child.
Obligation to pay child support does not stop when the child is 18. This obligation continues until the child is capable of subsisting alone (usually when studies are over).

]]>The post Does the Judge take into account the opinion of the children before deciding which parent will have custody? first appeared on Gregory Hanson.
]]>This lawyer is paid by legal aid and is completely independent from the parents. He/she has received a special training on how to interview children and will speak in the name of the child during court hearings.
This is a relatively reliable way of giving the position of the child on custody, visitation rights etc…

]]>The post Can shared custody be ordered even if one spouse opposes to it? first appeared on Gregory Hanson.
]]>The father would have a visitation right usually two weekends a month plus half of the school holidays.
Sometimes, the father was granted an extra visitation day during the school week.
The father would have the obligation of paying child support to his ex wife.
During the last ten years shared custody has become a trend in France.
Even if the other spouse doses not agree, shared custody will be granted if it is possible from a practical point of view.
For shared custody to be granted:
When it is granted judges usually order that the children spend alternately one week with each parent.
There will be no obligation of payment of child support unless there is a very substantial difference of income between parents.

]]>The post What happens to matrimonial assets and debts after divorce? first appeared on Gregory Hanson.
]]>If there is no agreement on liquidation of matrimonial assets between spouses the dispute will be settled by a Judge.
In a mutual consent divorce the assets must be liquidated before the Judge can pronounce the divorce.
In all the other form of divorce (for example: divorce for fault, divorce for separation for more than two years) the liquidation of matrimonial assets can be ordered by the Judge sometimes many years after the divorce is pronounced.
If the ex-spouses do not agree on the fate of the former matrimonial home, it will be sold during a court auction, usually at a price far below the market price.
To avoid this it is preferable to reach an of out of court agreement.

]]>The post Which Judge has jurisdiction in trans European divorce cases? first appeared on Gregory Hanson.
]]>If both spouses live in France, it is the Judge closest to the residence of the children who will have Jurisdiction. If there are no children it will be the Judge of the residence of the defendant.
In trans European cases, when one spouse lives in a EU country and the other in another, the question is more complex. This matter comes under Council Regulation No 2201/2003 of 27 November 2003. In compliance with this Regulation, spouses can sometimes have the choice between the two legal systems. The usual residence of the children will also be taken into account. In this delicate matter one should seek the advise of a legal practitioner.

]]>The post How long does a divorce procedure last? first appeared on Gregory Hanson.
]]>Duration will strongly vary depending on: the location of the Court (outcome tends to be more rapid in small rural courts) ; if it is a mutual consent divorce or a more disputed type of divorce (the less contentious the divorce the shorter the procedure). Duration will be increased in case of appeal.
In urgent situations (domestic violence, custody involving transnational issues), the Judge can order provisional measures to protect the oppressed spouse or the children within about one month.
