JJ Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 My wife and I are getting divorced, I have returned to the UK, whilst she and the children remain in France.We want to be as amicable as possible and have sort of agreed the finances.I know I can file for divorce in the UK, but would I be better off doing it in France?, how do the different systems compare, has anybody been there and done it.Many thanksContact details edited by a mod.

NormanH Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I was divorced in the UK by 'mutual consent' while living in France.I can't see what possible advantage there would be in going thorough that emotionally messy procedure in a foreign language and with different sets of assumptions and systems of Justice, but perhaps you are totally bilingual and an expert in the code Napoléon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
