Divorce by mutual consent and ordinary contract law ; Le divorce par consentement mutuel et le droit commun des contrats
The legislature abolished, by Law No 2016-1547 of 18 November 2016 on the modernisation of the justice system of the twenty-first century, the need to obtain judicial approval of the divorce agreement. In doing so, it did not necessarily perceive the impact of this deletion. It has increased the possibilities of challenging the agreement, even if it is lodged in the notary's minutes. Subsequent judicial review of the agreement, which may be carried out at the request of one of the former spouses, therefore requires, by means of a reversal, that the content of the agreement be consistent with the ordinary law of contracts. ; International audience ; The legislature abolished, by Law No 2016-1547 of 18 November 2016 on the modernisation of the justice system of the twenty-first century, the need to obtain judicial approval of the divorce agreement.

Ce faisant, il n'a pas nécessairement perçu l'incidence de cette suppression. En effet, celle-ci a multiplié les possibilités de contestation de la convention, même déposée au rang des minutes du notaire. Le contrôle judiciaire a posteriori de la convention, qui pourra être effectué à la demande d'un des ex-époux, impose donc, par un choc en retour, que le contenu de la convention soit conforme au droit commun des contrats.
