I want to divorce
Are you thinking of getting a divorce? Here are the steps you need to take.
Divorce in France
Procedure to follow
If you wish to divorce in France, you must do so through a lawyer, who will take the necessary steps. It is possible to divorce a foreign spouse in France.
Documents to send to Ofpra
A divorce, once granted in France, will be registered by OFPRA upon presentation of the divorce document and the following documents, which your solicitor or notary will advise you to provide: a copy of the divorce decree and/or a document proving that the divorce is final.

Divorce abroad
Procedure to follow
Divorces granted abroad can only be registered by OFPRA once they have been examined by the Public Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Paris Judicial Court to ensure they are enforceable and comply with French public policy. The processing times are therefore longer than for divorces granted in France. The case should be brought directly before the Paris Judicial Court.
