Family Law
“Family is at the heart of many important life decisions. Whether it's a happy event or a delicate situation, our notary office provides you with attentive and expert support to ensure every step is secure.”
Supporting you with compassion and rigor during key moments in your family life.
Family law governs some of the most important personal decisions: getting married, entering into a civil partnership, protecting your spouse, planning your estate, supporting an adoption, managing a separation.
These events require a secure legal framework, but also compassionate, discreet, and attentive support.
At st Martin de Belleville (Savoie), Maître Muriel Rabeyrolles and her team provide you with serious and caring support in all your family matters. Our mission is to provide you with clear advice tailored to your situation and to ensure that every action is taken in accordance with the law and with respect for individuals.
Marriage, Civil Partnerships, and Matrimonial Property Regimes
When a couple enters into a union, it involves specific legal choices that are sometimes misunderstood.
A notary is there to guide you and advise you on whether it would be beneficial for you, given your family and/or financial situation, to draw up a prenuptial agreement:
– Drafting a prenuptial agreement before the ceremony,
– Choosing a matrimonial property regime (separation of property, community property, participation in acquisitions, etc.),
– Entering into a civil partnership (PACS),
– Changing the matrimonial property regime during the course of cohabitation, including the advantages and disadvantages.
These decisions determine how your current and future assets will be managed. It is therefore essential to plan them carefully in advance.
Managing the Emotions of Divorce and Separation
