Maitre Laurence Mayer is the one you need and look nowhere else. We found her amazing at her job and whatever she says it is achieved. I would recommend her without any hesitation.
Engaging an attorney in Paris with solid experience is decisive in matters of separation. As a divorce specialist registered with the Paris Bar, Maître Laurence MAYER has been assisting spouses for over 35 years who face often complex situations, both on a personal and financial level.
Your family law attorney in Paris intervenes at every stage, whether in a divorce by mutual consent (divorce without a judge) or in contentious divorce proceedings when conflict requires it. The firm adopts a strategic and individualized approach, based on thorough mastery of personal law and property law, in order to ensure lasting security in the decisions made.
Family situations give rise to significant financial consequences, whether involving a change of matrimonial property regime, a separation, or the organization of the couple’s financial interests. The intervention of an attorney with expertise in property law makes it possible to analyze the applicable regime — separation of property, legal community property, or contractual regime — and to assess its legal and financial implications.
When an agreement is possible, divorce by mutual consent without a Judge is preferred over contentious divorce before a Judge
This attorney handles both divorces under French law and European or international divorces where a foreign element is involved, in particular through the application of private international law rules.
Your attorney handles separations and always prioritizes the best interests of the children, safeguarding the rights of both fathers and mothers.
With respect to child support, spousal support, and compensatory allowance, the attorney ensures fair and secure legal handling.
In particular, if alternating residence is not possible or desired, the visitation and accommodation rights of the parent with whom the child does not primarily reside must be determined in the child’s best interests.
The consequences of divorce on children are a major issue. The intervention of an attorney regarding alternating residence makes it possible to objectively assess the feasibility of such an arrangement, in the exclusive best interests of the child. When alternating residence is not retained, visitation and accommodation rights must be carefully structured in order to preserve family bonds. With respect to child support, the attorney ensures that the contribution is set in accordance with actual resources and needs. This comprehensive approach reflects a protective vision of family law, carried out by an experienced attorney attentive to parental balance and the emotional stability of children
Maître Laurence MAYER handles child support, contributions paid for children, as well as spousal support paid during divorce proceedings. On this occasion, your divorce specialist attorney in Paris ensures that the compensatory allowance is set fairly, despite the existing methods used to calculate its amount.
She also handles the liquidation of matrimonial property regimes, including community property, separation of property, participation in acquisitions, any asset liquidation, division of property, etc.
Divorce also entails significant financial consequences. The liquidation of the matrimonial property regime and the division of assets during a divorce require the intervention of an attorney with in-depth expertise. Depending on the applicable matrimonial regime, the attorney acts within the framework of separation of property, legal community property, or a specific matrimonial regime, in order to organize the liquidation and division of assets under secure conditions. The assessment of the compensatory allowance forms part of this comprehensive asset analysis. Through extensive practice in property law, the attorney secures liquidation operations and anticipates future disputes, taking into account the long-term interests of each spouse.
Your family law attorney attorney in family law, personal law, and property law also handles all matters relating to filiation, actions to establish paternity, challenges to paternity, annulment of marriage, incapacity, civil partnerships (PACS), and related issues.
Certain situations require the intervention of an attorney in cases of international divorce or a European divorce attorney, particularly where a foreign element is involved. In divorce matters, private international law determines the competent jurisdiction and the applicable law. The firm also assists with cross-border separation proceedings in connection with European law. This expertise extends to issues of filiation, actions to establish paternity, challenges to paternity, as well as annulment of marriage or civil partnership (PACS) proceedings, handled by an attorney proficient in personal law
Maître MAYER has acquired extensive experience in private law by handling cases for several years before the Conseil d'État and the Cour de Cassation. She has been an attorney at the Paris Bar for over 35 years. She practices in Paris, where her firm is located, but handles cases throughout France, working with local counsel when necessary.
She obtained the certificate of specialization in family law, personal law, and property law, which grants her the official title of Specialist.
She is also a Doctor of Law, an academic degree awarded by the University of Paris II.
Engaging your divorce specialist attorney in Paris, with more than 35 years of experience and a Doctor of Law degree, allows you to approach separation with confidence. The firm provides rigorous and compassionate support in family law, personal law, and property law, in order to ensure lasting security for every decision
