The questions around the couple

To help couples, Maître 

Lydie Paul

 offers her expertise in marriage contracts and divorce proceedings.

The marriage contract

When two people decide to marry, they are subject to a specific matrimonial regime allowing them to manage their assets within the legal framework. Before completing the formalities relating to their marriage contract, Maître 

Lydie Paul

is ready to advise them on the type of contract to adopt, according to their wishes. To this end, the future spouses will have the choice between legal community (common ownership of property acquired during the marriage), separation of property (each is the owner of the property he buys with his money), universal community (all property and debts are common, whether acquired before or after marriage), and participation in acquests (separation of property during marriage, but liquidation assimilated to the regime of community reduced to acquests in the event of the death of the other or divorce).

Divorce proceedings

Whatever the type of 

divorce

 chosen by the couple, Maître 

Lydie Paul

 is able to take care of the related procedures. She is willing to accompany you in the context of:

Divorce for fault

Divorce caused by a transgression of the rules and obligations of marriage by one of the spouses. The defaulter may have committed infidelity, physical assault, verbal abuse, failure to contribute to expenses, or dereliction of marital duty.

 

Divorce for acceptance of the principle of separation

This is about contentious divorce. The couple agree on the principle of separation, but do not agree on the immediate effects of the breakdown of their life together, in particular the fate of the children and the division of property.

 

Divorce for permanent alteration of the marital bond

This case of divorce takes place when one of the spouses refuses to divorce, when it is impossible to prove the fault of the other, or when the partners have been separated for at least 24 months. To this end, only one of the spouses can file the request for the judge to find the minimum separation of 2 years. If this situation is confirmed, the divorce is pronounced immediately, even without the agreement of the other party.

 

Divorce by mutual consent

Based on the same principles as those of 

amicable divorce

 , this divorce system assumes that the spouses agree on the conditions of separation and the immediate consequences thereof. The couple can then proceed to a divorce without a judge, but must agree on the drafting of an agreement mentioning their terms of rupture and the consequences thereof. Assisted by their respective lawyers, the spouses opt for a contractual divorce before the notary and sign the said agreement without going through a court.

 

The consequences of the separation of the couple

Custody of the couple's children

If, following your divorce, you need a lawyer to rule on the fate of your children, contact Maître 

Lydie Paul

 . She will plead your case, so that you obtain sole custody rights. If, however, the judge decides otherwise, it will intervene in your favor for 

shared custody

 or 

shared residence

 of your children, as well as visiting rights corresponding to your expectations. She is also able to negotiate the amount of alimony 

,

 so that your spouse participates in the needs relating to the accommodation 

of the children

 , their health, their safety, and their food, even if he does not have custody of them. .

 

Division of the couple's property

You can call on the services of Maître 

Lydie Paul

 to 

share the assets

 that belonged to your couple in the context of living together. It will then take care of distributing your financial assets, your real estate, and your movable assets, favoring 

amicable sharing

 before 

judicial sharing

 , so that neither party feels aggrieved. If, however, it is impossible to proceed in this way, it will initiate legal proceedings for the distribution of the assets in question. If you were harmed during the separation procedure, she will be able to accompany you and advise you for your request for 

compensatory allowance

 .

 

Parentage issues

Adoption procedure

As part of an adoption procedure, Maître 

Lydie Paul

 will show you the different possibilities, to then help you make the right choice according to your needs. To this end, you can opt for 

simple adoption

 which does not require the child to sever its ties with its biological family, or 

full adoption

 which requires the definitive severance of relations between the child and its biological family.

 

Recognition and research of maternity/paternity

In terms of family and personal law, assisting you in the 

paternity/maternity research

 and 

paternity/maternity recognition

 procedure is part of the attributions of Maître 

Lydie Paul

 .

If your child is born before marriage and you want to exercise 

parental authority

 , the lawyer is able to guide you in your recognition procedures with the town hall. If you do not wish to be the father or the mother of the child, she will be at your side to help you in your process of contesting filiation. If ever your child does not have legal filiation and wishes to initiate paternity research, Maître 

Lydie Paul

can accompany him in his appeal for subsidies. She will then ensure that he obtains a food contribution from the person supposed to have had intimate relations with his mother during the period of his conception.

Elder Law

In order to avoid conflicts between heirs, it is necessary to carry out succession planning as early as possible. To do this, you can call on Maître Lydie Paul to guide you in the steps of anticipation. Knowing all the procedures related to inheritance law , she is able to assist you in drafting the will , so that each beneficiary can legally enjoy his share of the inheritance. She also advises you on the arrangements to be made for donations ., whether you want to adopt a system of residual donation (the first donee does not keep all of what has been bequeathed to him, he only transfers the rest to the next donee) or of gradual donation (the initial donee fully enjoys all the property that has been attributed to him, but he must bequeath everything to the second donee when necessary). Moreover, it remains at your disposal if you wish to make a donation of usufruct. In this case, she will tell you what measures to take so that your heritage is bequeathed to all the siblings.
 

The opening of the succession

Although the donor has proceeded in a legal way to transmit his patrimony to his heirs, it is always likely that there will be conflicts of succession between the donees. It is precisely in such cases that you will have to call on the services of Maître 

Lydie Paul

 . It has the skills required to intervene in the event of a disputed succession or any other conflict relating to 

hereditary options

 .

If you want to initiate a contestation process, you must rely on legal grounds to support your request. For your reasons to be admissible in this way, they must be related to a false will (erroneous will, aimed at diverting the inheritance for the personal benefit of a single heir), estate concealment (destruction or deliberate concealment of a unregistered will), or misappropriation of assets (concealment of a donation or misappropriation of assets without keeping the other heirs informed).

At the same time, Maître 

Lydie Paul

 is able to help you if you feel disadvantaged in relation to the distribution of the inheritance, and you want to discuss the 

hereditary reserve .

. This option will allow you to enjoy, even partially, the inheritance legally dedicated to the compulsory heirs. Trust the expertise of Maître 

Lydie Paul

 for an amicable sharing or a judicial sharing of your parents' assets.
