As EU nationals, French nationals enjoy free movement within the EU which means that they have the right to live and work in any member states without applying for a visa. Now that the UK has left the EU, this right no longer applies to EU nationals coming to the UK.
Cela me rappelle le tableau du "Jugement de Paris", qui décrit le moment où d'éminents critiques de vin français, lors d'un test de dégustation, se sont rendus compte qu'ils avaient mieux classé les vins californiens que les vins français.
La requête en divorce a été déposée. L’on peut à présent se concentrer sur l’un des deux autres éléments essentiels d’une séparation, à savoir l’aspect financier. La procédure sur les mesures financières et la décision finale sont un facteur décisif dans le choix du lieu du divorce. De nombreux clients supposent que les procédures en Angleterre et en France sont similaires. Cela n’est pourtant pas le cas.
The divorce petition has been lodged. The focus can now switch to the two other key components of a separation, of which one is the finances. The process of applying for a financial order, and what order is made at the end, will be an important factor in deciding where to divorce. Many clients assume that processes in England and in France are largely similar. However, this is not the case. In this blog, we summarise the key stages in both French and English financial order applications, including the application, supporting information, hearings, criteria and available orders.
Misconceptions and myths are commonplace in the world of cross border divorce. I am reminded of the “Judgment of Paris” painting, depicting the moment when a panel of eminent French wine critics, in a taste test, discovered they had ranked Californian wines higher than French.
