Article 1200-8 of the French Code of civil procedure

The case is heard and judged in chambers.

The hearing may be held at the seat of the juvenile court or at the seat of a local chamber located within the jurisdiction, which the summons indicates.

At the hearing, the judge hears the recipient or beneficiary of family benefits and informs him of the reasons for his referral. He will hear any other person whose testimony he deems useful. The legal counsel for the recipient or the person entitled to the benefits is heard in his or her observations.
