Hi all
Im English and have been living and working in France for 10 years, I have my own business (sci plus I am auto entrepreneur). I have a French daughter. The question is this, my English girlfriend and her 9 year old daughter want to move here and live with me, we want to put her daughter into the local school. I keep getting contradicting information from the Mairie, Prefecture etc. How would we go about getting her daughter into the local school? What papers would her mother need? I spoke with the local headmistress and she said they would need autthorisation form from La mairie / carnet de santé/ livret de famille and certification de radiation de l ancien ecole but surely her mother would need to have a social security number etc. She doesnt intend working at present, so the usual way of getting on the system is not a possibility. Would school accept her without her mother being ¨on the system¨? Or as European citizen, will she have automatic rights to come live here and put her daughter into school? One possibility is marriage but even if we did that would that automatically give her the rights for social security / school etc
Any advise appreciated
Thanls
