Anglo-French | Kingsley Napley

While England and France are only separated by the Channel, when dealing with divorce cases historically they have been oceans apart.? ? French law is based on a civil code, with divorce law applying property regimes to the division of assets. This is often incompatible with the common law, discretionary system in England. ? In recent years however, there has been a gradual but significant change in approach in England, as Claire Wood explains in her new blog. https://lnkd.in/ehk-bdYg #KingsleyNapley #FamilyLaw #Divorce #International
