Abstract

Since April 2010, an official guideline has been published by the French Ministry of Justice. The implementation of this guideline raises questions about the expected impacts of this public decision-making tool. First, before the beginning of the divorce procedure, a guideline contributes to reduce uncertainty and, in certain circumstances, it is likely to encourage settlement between parents. During the judicial procedure, a guideline is an instrument which may help the judges to check to what extent the child's interests are preserved, whether by fixing a child support award when the parents make a different offer or by validating or not a mutual parental offer. After the divorce, a guideline is an instrument which is likely to encourage compliance with child support orders due to the equal treatment of similar cases.
