Residence permits and family life
Depending on the foreign national's situation, the right to reside may be linked to their personal and family ties in France. A residence permit bearing the wording “private and family life” may in particular concern a foreign national with close personal and family ties in France, such as the spouse or parent of a French citizen, a young person who entered France as a minor or a person able to demonstrate lasting ties to the country.The firm handles the issue of obtaining and renewing residence permits, as well as refusals or withdrawals of permits.
In these cases, the family and personal situation must be considered as a whole. The presence of a spouse, PACS partner or children, the duration and stability of the shared life, as well as the length and strength of personal and family ties in France may all be taken into account.
The situation may also change in the event of separation, the end of cohabitation or a change in family composition, with possible consequences for the right to reside.
The firm advises you on the steps to take and on the elements that can be relied upon to assert your situation.
Couples and families with international mobility
International family situations can have significant consequences for the right to reside, particularly when a binational couple or family is considering moving to France or living between several countries.International mobility must be anticipated when a person who already holds a residence permit regularly stays abroad. A prolonged absence from France may, depending on the permit held and the circumstances, affect its renewal or continued validity; some forms of mobility are nevertheless governed by specific regimes.
The firm can therefore assess the consequences of a planned move, change of residence or international mobility on the family and administrative situation.
Appeals relating to residence and family separation
A divorce or separation may have consequences for the right to reside when a permit was issued on the basis of family ties in France.In certain situations, the end of the shared life may weaken the renewal of the permit, particularly where it is linked to marriage to a French national.
However, the assessment depends on the permit held, the length of the shared life and the foreign national's personal and family circumstances.
Certain circumstances may also lead to the right to reside being maintained, particularly where children are involved or where the separation results from domestic or family violence.
Depending on the circumstances, a change of status may also be considered to take account of another basis for residence, such as family life or professional activity.
The firm handles refusals or withdrawals of residence permits, obligations to leave French territory (OQTF) and administrative or court appeals aimed at defending the person's rights and, where necessary, preserving family unity.
