A: First, the question needs to be asked by the prospective client needing the representation. Second, it needs to be asked of a French advocat rather than a US lawyer, and Justia is only visited by American lawyers. Third, this presents no International Law questions, but is best presented to a French advocat handling Family Law.

A: I believe you would be recognized as a legal wife unless you were married underage here and that would have been illegal there. You would want to talk to a womens group about any concerns you have right now about the rights.
