Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / French court procedure
French term or phrase: O.N.C
Séparés de corps par jugement du TGI de Fort de France, rendu le 24 septembre 1998.
O.N.C en date du 3.3.97

I believe O.N.C may refer to the date of deposition of the application to the High Court for separation ruling. But the actual French behind the acronym O.N.C beats me

disagree  B D Finch: "Conciliation" does not mean "reconciliation"; it's an interim order for maintenance, child custody etc. following failure to achieve mutual agreement on those matters through mediation.
1 hr
agree  AllegroTrans: I agree with this; such an order essentialy is for the divorce petition to go ahead, regardless of any ancillary matters that may or may not be decided at the same time

agree  AllegroTrans: // The Judge at an ONC hearing "tests" the couple to see if they are able to reconcile; if they maybe can, the Judge adjourns the hearing and refers them on to another service

  -> Thanks AT. I note that you agreed with the translation of "conciliation" as "reconciliation". Even the Marriage Guidance Council counselling doesn't try to push people into reconciliation, and I understand the FR "conciliation" to mean "mediation".

Reference: Min purpose of the ONC

Reference information:
What are the steps?

To start these proceedings, a petition for divorce, (une requête en divorce), can be filed either by the lawyer of one of the spouses, or simultaneously by the lawyers of both spouses. Among other information, this petition will outline ‘interim measures’ that will occur during the divorce proceedings, such as where the spouses and any children will be living.

A few weeks or months later (depending on how busy the courts are), the spouses are summoned by the family-law judge, (un Juge aux affaires familiales), for a conciliation hearing, (une audience de conciliation).

During this hearing, the judge first sees both spouses separately, and then together with their lawyers. The judge makes sure that the spouses’ consent to the divorce is made voluntarily and is ‘fully informed’, meaning that both spouses are aware of all factors involved. If this is indeed the case, the judge will draw up an official statement, (un procès-verbal), recording that both spouses agree on the principle of the divorce. Once this is done, the principle of the divorce is final.

agree  B D Finch: That's how I understood it, i.e. not a "failure of attempted reconciliation".// Reconciliation is kiss and make up. Conciliation is OK, we'll stay together for the sake of the children/money/dog, but separate rooms and holidays.

  -> The Judge has to ensure himself that attempts at reconciliation have failed
