A European Divorce With Children

In the German Saar region, close to the French border, I discovered how a divorce can be even more painful when the partners are of different nationalities, when there are children involved - and when German law applies. Many thanks to Marie Galimard-Geiss, who devoted us the better part of a day and allowed insight into her family's drama.



I am especially grateful to Hugues Wajnsztok, who did an excellent job on this as a cameraman as well as an editor.
The sound editing was done by Arnaud Riedinger, and he also did a pretty neat job.
A shortened version of this report was used as a VNR in this "7 Days" programme.
