PARIS: France is considering a plan to allow divorces by mutual consent to proceed without a judge, simplifying a process that some critics say is already too easy. Social Affairs Minister Dominique Bertinotti confirmed the plan was under consideration on Friday, telling BFM-TV that “simplification is a good thing.”
Under the report requested by France’s justice minister and expected to be laid out in mid-January, a court clerk could approve divorces when both spouses agree.
According to the Le Figaro newspaper, divorcing couples in agreement spend an average of only eight minutes before a judge now. The paper said 54 percent of French divorces are uncontested.
Bertinotti said court clerks are highly trained in the law and could handle those cases, freeing up judges for trickier breakups.
“One couple in two will divorce. Do we have to make it more difficult?” she asked.
Opponents say the proposal will further weaken the institution of marriage, as well as make agreements harder to enforce.
“Doing without a judge’s authority risks weakening the agreement and reinforces the sentiment — common about those divorcing — that they’ve been had,” Elodie Mulon, a specialist in family law, told Le Figaro. Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the government spokeswoman, said the proposal was among about 200 in the report.

“In short, this class is exactly what my wife and I needed. We needed a community of other married couples fighting to have sweet and adventure marriages for support… Before United Marriage, it was easier to point the finger at my husband as the issue. Through each assessment of the course, I have gotten more comfortable accepting my flaws and communicating them to my husband which has led to greater vulnerability in my marriage. My husband has also grown more comfortable expressing his challenges in our marriage as well… It has shown me that good marriages require a lot of work and that nothing happens by osmosis. That’s why love spell has become a helper in our marriage which is possibly our biggest victory, before our successful marriage we had separated several times then I come across Dr Itua love spell which has really helped me get my husband back to my life, Dr Itua helped me with love spell when my marriage was going insane when my husband was having an affair outside but with the help of Dr Itua love spell I and My husband are now happy, every day in our life is now a happy moment and we just have our third child Lori, I thank Dr itua for his help so if you are here facing hard time on relationship or marriage then this testimony is for you to contact Dr Itua for a help to keep your marriage or relationship Dr Itua contact, drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Then what's app +2348149277967
