Family Criminal Law

Some breaches committed within the family unit can fully justify an action before the criminal courts.

Criminal law intervenes in family matters to punish reprehensible behaviour (harassment, physical or psychological violence, threats, etc.)



or in the event of non-compliance with decisions issued by civil courts (non-representation of a child, family abandonment, etc.).
