See under General Consular Services for a list of lawyers in France. In the case of a divorce by mutual consent, it is possible to hire the same lawyer, or to hire one for each party.

There are 2 types of divorce:

2. non-litigious (by common consent)

How long will the procedure last and what will it cost?

The duration and cost of divorce procedures can vary depending on the case and level of agreement between the parties involved.
