The judge of the judicial court delegated to family matters shall settle the matters referred to him or her under this chapter, taking special care to safeguard the interests of minor children.
The judge may take measures to guarantee the continuity and effectiveness of the maintenance of the child’s ties with each of his parents.
In particular, he may order a ban on the child leaving French territory without the authorisation of both parents. This ban on the child leaving French territory without the authorisation of both parents is entered in the wanted persons file by the public prosecutor.
He may, even of his own motion, order a penalty payment to ensure that his decision is enforced. If the circumstances show it to be necessary, he may attach a penalty payment to the decision handed down by another judge as well as to the parental agreement recorded in one of the documents mentioned in 1° and 2° of I of Article 373-2-2. The provisions of articles L. 131-2 to L. 131-4 of the Code of Civil Enforcement Procedures shall apply.
It may also, where a parent deliberately obstructs in a serious or repeated manner the enforcement of one of the titles mentioned in 1° to 6° of the I of article 373-2-2, order the parent to pay a civil fine of an amount that may not exceed €10,000.
