It will be viewed as abandonment of your children etc etc. Also everything might then be perceived to be your fault - whether it is or not.Please be careful.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Mands, Some info regarding children HERE (translation).Some info regarding separation on unmarried couples HERE (translation).Regardless of what answers you are given here, you must establish the situation officially as there are children involved.Your mairie may have details of free consultation service for lawyers. If not, they can give you the contact details of the Tribunal de Grande Instance (TGI) in your department and they should be able to give that info.

idun Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Be careful. I do not believe that you can 'just' take your kids from their home or to the UK if you want without their father's permission. In fact because of this, I do know of women who were obliged to leave home without their children and then were caught out about abandonment. Also I don't think that there are any specific figures for maintenance for the children and is down to each judge to decide. You need legal advice about this.

Also Clairs' links are of inestimable value, you do need outside help ... and it does exist.Good luck.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked at the sites and I think youre right I need to know where I stand legally. the mairie is open tomorrow so I will go along. ref maintenance Im not bothered as long as I can survive here I would rather sell the house and start afresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
