Official questionExamen Civique
En cas de divorce, qui exerce l'autorité parentale ?
In the event of divorce, who exercises parental authority?
Correct answer
Les deux parents, en principe
Both parents, as a rule

Separation or divorce does not change parental authority: both parents keep the same rights and duties towards their child. Only a judge can decide otherwise, in the child's interest. In both the official naturalisation and carte de résident knowledge-question lists.
