Children’s law

Determining your children’s place of residence and solving custody issues is highly complex and intimate, whether at the time of your separation or afterwards. The issues require constant support and availability from your lawyer.

parental authority

French law makes a distinction between parental authority, which concerns the rights and duties that parents have towards their children or towards each other, and the arrangements for the children's residence.

Parental authority is vested in both parents, barring exceptional and particularly serious circumstances. However, the children's residence may be fixed at the home of only one of the parents, or at the home of both. This is known as alternating residence.
