I’m Julie Thibault, a French family lawyer and trained mediator supporting clients in Paris, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Versailles and worldwide.
For more than 13 years, I’ve helped people navigate expat divorce in France,divorce for foreigners in France, and complex transitions involving multiple cultures, languages, and legal systems.
Whether you’re a binational couple, a multilingual family, or an expatriate navigating French procedures for the first time, you will be heard, understood, and guided with calm precision.
Here, your story matters. Your culture matters. Your future matters.
I didn’t choose this profession by accident.
I grew up inside a difficult separation — a mother who drifted away, a father who had to rebuild from zero. That experience taught me to read emotions, tensions, silences… and the deep longing for stability underneath.
After international legal studies and several years in generalist firms, I founded my own practice with a clear mission:
bring humanity back into family law, especially for multicultural and expat families navigating divorce in France.
Since 2020, I’ve supported more than 350 people. Many were navigating international divorce situations, cross-border logistics, cultural expectations, and multilingual communication issues.
Two thirds chose amicable divorce — not out of weakness, but out of conscious strength.
My role today is to bring clarity and stability to all who need it — French, expat, or binational.
I dream of a world where families move through transition with awareness, dignity, and responsibility.
Where multicultural and binational couples feel seen, not lost in translation.
Where children grow with emotional safety even when parents separate.
I believe in a legal system that protects and helps rebuild.
And I believe the lawyer’s role is not only technical — it’s relational, strategic, and deeply human.

separation can become a turning point.
Family law touches everything intimate: love, loyalty, emotions, identity, culture, money, legacy.
I support you through every aspect of your separation:
amicable divorce, judicial divorce, ending PACS, ending cohabitation, child residence, child support, financial division, and cross-border family issues.
For multicultural divorce in France, binational couples, or international families, I integrate the complexity of languages, different legal expectations, and cultural nuances into a clear strategy.
I also use tools from mediation to help you stay grounded and communicate with clarity — essential in expat and binational situations where communication often breaks down first.
My goal is to create a stable, structured process you can rely on.
Many expat and foreign clients arrive thinking “we’ll handle this easily.”
But French divorce procedures, tax implications, visas, co-parenting logistics, and cross-border residence rules make things more complex than expected.
Without a lawyer experienced in expat divorce France, binational couple divorce France, and international divorce, important details are often missed.
My role is to:
You gain nothing by rushing. You gain everything by securing clarity.
I support parents who want to create stability for their children, even in multicultural or international contexts where two countries, two languages, or two legal systems are involved.
Together, we define residence, shared custody, visitation schedules, communication rules, and financial support — all adapted to your family structure.
There are no templates.
Only tailored solutions that respect your child’s needs and your cultural reality.
As a trained mediator, I handle tense, blocked, or emotional situations — far too common in expat and multicultural separations.
I facilitate communication, clarify needs, prevent escalation, and create agreements that fit your real life — not just the law.
My mediation tools are especially valuable for English-speaking couples in France and binational families who need a safe, neutral space.
Her professionalism, empathy, and calm were invaluable in a very intense period.
