Paris, Feb. 7.-CBy A. P.)--Ameri-
can lawyers here generally welcome
the new ruling of the minister of
Justice of the administration of
divorce cases which makes divorce
for foreigners in France possible only
on the Same ground that governs
such actions in the home states of
the parties concerned.
They think it will tend to reduce
the abuses hitherto more or less
prevalent in France and also lessen
the responsibility of attorneys con-
corning the validity in home states
of divorces hereafter granted by
French courts.
Legal experts, however believe that
the divorce business will not mater
tally be affected by the new pro-
cedure requiring "a certificate of
customs" showing that the grounds
upon which a French divorce is re-
quested are applicable in the home
states of applicants. because it is
jointed out that most of the advan-
tages of obtaining divorces in Paris
such as lack of publicity and the
nature of the evidence required, re-
main unaffected by the new ruling,
The chief effects of the new regu-
lation, according to the concensus of
American lawyers, will be to prevent
the granting of divorce to a man and
wife who come to Europe on the
same boat. stay in Paris ten days
and perhaps return on the same
boat.
LAWYERS generally welcome this re-
form, because such practices have
tended to give a black eye to the
whole Paris divorce system. But as
always the whole matter Of grant
ing a divorce in France rests with
the discretion of the judge hearing
the case, and these judges merely
have been asked to use Il little more
discretion. The new regulation APP
pears to have followed an investi-
cation recently concluded by Deputy
Judge LiSbonne, who was assigned
by the tribunal of the Seine about
two months ago, at the request of
Premier POincare, to inquire into the
entire subject of foreigners securing
divorces in France.
NJ. LlSDOnne investigation dis
closed that many Americans would
had come to France for divorce had
given incorrect addresses, generally
using those of their attorneys as
their own domiciles. As result, in
structions recently were issued that
all judges hearing cases brought by
Americans should carefully investi-
gate as to whether the parties have
real domiciles in France. As the ,.vi-
dence in such cases must be submit
ted to representative of the public
prosecutor before the cases are
pleaded this official will not now al
low any case to be heard if he does
not receive documentary proof of
real domicile- in France.
The court of cessation which is
Frances supreme court. has definite
ly ruled, however, that French
courts can divorce foreigners even
if they no longer actually live in
france and that when a case is
heard it is sufficient for them to
prove they had French domicile at
the time the divorce was granted.
