The firm assists its clients in divorce proceedings, whether by mutual consent or contentious divorces, as well as in family mediation procedures. It has particular expertise in situations involving international couples established in France.
When the spouses reach an agreement, directly or through their lawyers, on all the points affected by their separation, a divorce by mutual consent is possible. In this case, a divorce agreement can be drawn up, signed by the parties and their lawyers, and then filed with a notary.
On the other hand, if no overall agreement can be reached, it is necessary to refer the matter to the family court to settle the disputes.
Family mediation offers spouses an opportunity to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. However, it is important to note that mediation is not an option in situations of domestic violence.
With its dual expertise in French and Californian law, the firm is able to effectively advise its clients in transnational contexts, particularly between France and California. It is essential to emphasize that the French divorce convention is not recognized in all countries. Thus, in situations with a foreign element (for example, a marriage celebrated abroad between binational spouses), it is strongly recommended to obtain a divorce judgment. This judgment guarantees international recognition and can be registered in the country concerned. In this context, the spouses can, through their lawyers, submit concordant requests before the family court.
