In this episode of Beyond Borders, we explore the key differences between French and Australian family law and what couples should know when separation spans two countries. We unpack practical questions faced by French-Australian families including:
How do couples initiate separation and divorce across borders?
If you married in Australia but now live in France (or vice versa), where should you begin the separation process?
How can you ensure a fair division of assets spread across continents?
Are prenups enforceable from one country to another?
How do courts in each country decide parenting arrangements and relocation disputes?
Does visa status or dual citizenship influence the outcome?

Host and accredited family law specialist Antonia Marron is joined by leading international family law experts and Fellows of the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL) Susan Warda of Mills Oakley Sydney and Elodie Mulon of Chauveau Mulon & Associes in France.  Their discussion offers clear, practical guidance around how to prepare legally before issues arise.

Whether you’re a couple navigating life between France and Australia, or a professional advising cross-border families, this episode provides the clarity and confidence to move forward.
