France - Divorce to get easier
Print Edition
France is putting together a plan to allow divorces by mutual consent to proceed without a judge, simplifying a process that some critics say is already too easy. Social Affairs Minister Dominique Bertinotti confirmed the plan on Friday, saying “simplification is a good thing.”
Under the proposal, a court clerk could approve divorces when both spouses agree. According to the Le Figaro newspaper, divorcing couples in agreement spend an average of only eight minutes before a judge now.
Bertinotti said court clerks are highly trained in the law and could handle those cases, freeing up judges for trickier breakups.
