I would like to locate an English speaking French divorce attorney in the Bar le Duc area to discuss the never ending, ongoing divorce of my fiancee.
As am American, with a French fiancee, it seems as if she has no rights and every attempt to move this forward to a conclusion is fruitless. It seems that unless she gives the soon to be exhusband exactly what he wants (a waiver of ever paying future child support or child related expenses, paying his attorney and hers, he will never allow this to come to an end).
From what I am told by my fiancee, the judges here do absolutely nothing expect make decisions related to child support yet even if her ex pays 1 euro of what is required monthly, she can not go after him for the balance of what is due. They will not put an end to a person who just keeps the process going with the cooperation of his attorney just to get what he wants from the former spouse (thus preventing us moving forward with our plans).
I feel that this guy holds all the cards even though he physically abused my fiancee during the marriage, stole thousands of euros from the family money and abondoned the family twice during the two years prior to the marriage. The sad thing is that he is a social worker for the Ministry of Justice and his list of people who he "follows for Justice" are the same spouse abusing, nonpayment of child support that have been convicted for this and he does the same and the government has no way to report employees who commit the same crimes.
So we need to find another attorney so I can speak the same language with to see what the options are. Thanks for any input you can provide.
