Article 300 of the French Civil Code

Each of the separated spouses retains the use of the other’s name. However, the legal separation agreement by private deed countersigned by lawyers filed with a notary, the legal separation judgment or a subsequent judgment may, taking into account the respective interests of the spouses, prohibit them from doing so.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 300

Chacun des époux séparés conserve l’usage du nom de l’autre. Toutefois, la convention de séparation de corps par acte sous signature privée contresigné par avocats déposé au rang des minutes d’un notaire, le jugement de séparation de corps ou un jugement postérieur peut, compte tenu des intérêts respectifs des époux, le leur interdire.
