La procédure de divorce

When a marriage comes to an end, the decision to divorce can be a difficult and emotionally charged time.

It is crucial to be well supported and advised during divorce proceedings and their aftermath.

Types of Divorce

It is important to understand that there are different forms of divorce, each suited to specific situations and needs.

As an experienced family law attorney, I am here to guide you through the available options and help you choose the best approach for your unique situation.

Types of divorce:

1. **Mutual consent divorce** : In a mutual consent divorce, both spouses agree on the terms of the divorce, including property division, child custody, and alimony. This type of divorce can be faster, less expensive, and less conflictual than other forms of divorce because it often avoids court disputes.

2. **Fault Divorce** : In a fault divorce, one spouse is accused of violating marital obligations, such as adultery, domestic violence, or abandonment. This type of divorce can be more contentious and protracted because it involves proving fault and arguing over it. It is also the most expensive form of divorce.

3. * *Divorce for permanent breakdown of the marital bond** : This type of divorce is possible when the spouses have lived separately for at least one year, without reconciliation. It is not necessary to prove specific fault, but it must be shown that the marital bond is irretrievably broken.

4. **Divorce by acceptance of the principle of the breakdown of the marriage **: In this type of divorce, the spouses accept the principle of the breakdown of the marriage, but cannot agree on the terms of the divorce. This may include disagreements over the division of property, child custody, or contribution to the maintenance and education of the children, for example.

No matter what type of divorce is best for you, I'm here to offer you competent and compassionate legal support every step of the way.

As an experienced family law attorney, I advocate for your interests and guide you toward a resolution that protects your rights and interests in the short, medium, and long term.
