Living in France, 2 kids, feeling very very sad. Have been thinking of divorce for 9months and still cannot talk to husband. Reasons why I am sad, he's not a bad bloke, I just want to move my life on. A trip to the doctors to get prozac won't help. But he's still stuck in his world and I have changed/grown in the 6 years of living here.
Everything financially fairly equally tied together after 12 years of marriage, no debts, except he has a pension and I don't. Trying to find other expats living in France in similar position and advice whether to progress through an English court or find a bilingual advocat over here.
I have been waiting for the right opportunity but it is never right. He still moans about everything but hasn't so far pushed me over the edge (maybe he knows?).
I know I must take control of my responsibilities, wish I was stronger, or would that make me a b*t*h? I also don't want him to try and fix a long list of my greivances (tried that last year, didn't work).
Meanwhile I keep busy with the family business during the day and cherish the nighttime when I can be alone in my private thoughts without too many interuptions of snoring!

My understanding is that unless it's a 'big money' case there isn't necessarily that much difference between the outcomes and there is something to be said for divorcing in the country where property is owned and where the children live. Also it appears that divorce is less confrontational in France. There's a poster, Flower21, who is going through divorce in France and it might be worth sending her a Personal Message. Although she hasn't posted for a while a PM could trigger an email and a reply. There's a separate entry about divorce, parental responsibility and maintenance for all the EU countries which might be useful as a comparison @ http://ec.europa.eu/civiljusti...fra_en.htm |
