TRANSFORMATIONS, NOT JUST LEGAL OUTCOMES
There’s a widespread belief that divorce will always get messy.
Here in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines), Versailles, and Paris, we do things differently.
I’m Julie Thibault, an English-speaking family lawyer for expats, binational couples, and foreign spouses in France. I help you turn your divorce into a clear and intentional turning point. It is far more than a legal burden.
Some situations need calm negotiation. Others need firm litigation. In every case, I bring structure, steadiness, and strategic insight. Always in English. No legal jargon. Because navigating a legal system that isn’t your own doesn't need to feel daunting.
You don’t have to face this alone.
You move through this with guidance, support, and real empowerment.

Don’t just “get through” a divorce.
Transform through it.
My approach brings together legal precision, emotional intelligence, and conscious decision-making. Whether your divorce is amicable, judicial, cross-border, binational, or involves a foreign spouse, we co-create a clear and grounded action plan.
No more confusion, no more sleepless nights wondering what will happen next.
You get clarity, structure, and a renewed sense of direction.
Amicable does not mean giving in. It means strong, self-led, intentional.
Choosing an amicable process often saves time, money, and emotional bandwidth – especially for expat couples or international families rebuilding a life in France or abroad. We establish agreements that are fair, sustainable, and legally robust.
You protect yourself & your family by staying centered, not by escalating conflict. Cooperation does not mean letting things slide. It means choosing a path that supports your future.


You don’t divorce your children.
You protect them by rebuilding your family system with intention.
Together, we clarify and structure your new co-parenting dynamic:
My approach is never punitive or judgmental.
We bring adults back into their leadership role so children grow up with stability, peace, and confident parents – even across borders.











You don’t need to fear the financial side.
It can empower you with clarity and steady footing
We review your rights, assets, obligations, and possible agreements regarding:
You don’t need a finance degree to make the right decisions.
You simply need guidance that is clear, structured, and aligned with your situation as an expat in France.


Why stay in the storm when you can build your way out?
Mediation is the art of clarifying what’s truly at stake, creating space for calmer communication, and finding solutions that respect your values, culture, and dignity.
As a divorce mediator, I help unblock situations that seemed impossible, even for international or binational couples. You do not have to choose between peace and your rights.
You can have both.
And sometimes, mediation reveals solutions that litigation could never offer.
Your divorce is not a failure. It’s a reclamation.
Your divorce is not a failure.
Here, we prioritize leadership, emotional grounding, and long-term peace.
Not guilt, fear, or revenge.
The moment has come to choose your next chapter with clarity – for yourself, your children, and even your ex-partner.
