Moving together: mediation before departure

01 — Who is it for?

• couples moving abroad who want to organize the project: the accompanying spouse’s employment, length of stay and conditions for returning;

• separated parents where one plans to move abroad with the children;

• families returning to France or changing countries;

02 — What you can organize

• children’s residence and time with each parent;

• holidays, journeys, sharing travel costs and remote contact;

• important decisions: school, health and language;

• timing and conditions for returning;

• financial arrangements while abroad;

• questions for your lawyers or notary: choosing matrimonial property law and making a will;

03 — The process

• a free twenty-minute information meeting, individually or together;

• a mediation agreement specifying language, arrangements and confidentiality rules;

• three two-hour sessions, at the office or by video, in French or English;

• a memo of agreed points, which your lawyers may turn into a parenting agreement approved by the court and made effective in the destination country;

04 — My role

Here I am a neutral and impartial mediator: I give legal advice to neither of you. Each can consult their lawyer in France or the destination country before, during and after sessions. I will not act as either participant’s lawyer in this case during or after mediation.

05 — Fees

Two two-hour sessions and a memo of the points agreed: €500 excl. VAT per party (€600 incl. VAT). Information meeting free of charge.
