About child custody disputes in France

Who it is for

This service is for parents who disagree with the other parent about custody (who the child lives with and who makes decisions) and visiting time. These disputes often come during a painful divorce or separation, and the legal side can be hard to follow.

What happens

  • A first meeting to understand your situation and explain your options.
  • The needed papers are gathered and prepared.
  • If both parents agree, their agreement is written up as a parenting plan, which a court must then approve.
  • If they do not agree, you are represented in court, with the children's interests in mind.
  • Help is available if the arrangements need changing after the court's decision.
  • Support continues throughout, in English.

What clients say about our service

  • The lawyer was very approachable and glad to give time to video conference calls so that all our requirements were understood. He was very patient, especially as our case was so emotional, and stayed professional throughout. The assistance was excellent.

  • The service I got in a family court matter was very good, even outstanding. My lawyer was helpful and professional at every stage of the difficult family court process in Spain, which went on for several years. At that time I lived in the UK and spoke very little Spanish. He, together with his contacts and their legal experience, guided me through every stage, assisting with representation at court hearings, the relevant documents and applications. The result was contact with my children and finally custody of them, after the court removed them from their mother's care in Spain.

  • The lawyer is the best! I am a UK citizen who needed legal help in Spain, and I got that and more. A paternity case was handled with ease by a true professional!
