The right of grandparents
Family law is a branch of civil law that governs and organises the legal relations between different members of the same family. Family law essentially defines two types of family ties: alliance ties (couples) and kinship ties (ascendants and descendants).
Regarding the alliance, family law sets the rules for marriage, PACS, concubinage and divorce. For example, it groups together the laws and regulations that govern the conditions and effects of marriage.
Regarding kinship, family law defines, among other things, all existing legal relationships between parents and their children. It sets the rules of filtration, adoption, lists the consequences of parental authority, defines the right of grandparents, etc.
The judge in charge of enforcing family law is the family court judge. The JAF sit in the courts of first instance. The rules of family law are contained in the Civil Code.

Divorced
Each year, about 60,000 couples divorce in France. The 2005 divorce reform has made divorce procedures much simpler, but divorce is still a difficult part of life for those involved.
The cost of divorce and the stages of divorce (convention, conciliation, assignment) vary according to the type of divorce chosen: divorce for fault, divorce by mutual consent, etc. The effects of divorce (alimony, parental authority, custody of children ...) concentrate the bulk of the conflicts.
Succession
Succession is an important step, even if evoking it is not always easy. There are several ways to ensure the transmission of one's inheritance: will, bequest, gift, life insurance, etc. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. The inheritance tax is not the same depending on the solutions chosen.
Succession gives rise most of the time to a situation of temporary in division. The division of property and the settlement of in division may give rise to disputes between heirs. Hence the importance of predicting his succession during his lifetime.
Domestic violence
No one is safe from domestic violence, especially when you are a woman. Women are the first victims of domestic abuse. Domestic violence can take different forms: sexual, physical, moral, psychological or even economic violence. Children are not spared from domestic violence either. Every year, children die as a result of domestic violence.
If you are a victim of domestic violence, you must act. There are several possible actions to put an end to the violence you suffer. Emergency telephone numbers for victims of violence within couples have been set up by associations or public authorities, including the 3919.
The right of grandparents
We sometimes forget that grandparents have rights to their grandchildren, as adults. Often unrecognised, these rights do indeed exist and are included in the Civil Code.
For example, grandparents have the right to maintain relations with their grandchildren even against the parents' wishes: this is the right of access and accommodation. They can also intervene if their minor child is in danger. If you are in need, you can also receive child support from your grandchildren.
