When a foreign national has been subjected to family or domestic violence and the cohabitation relationship has been broken off, the administrative authority may not withdraw the residence permit of the foreign national admitted for family reunification and will grant a renewal. In the event of violence committed after the spouse’s arrival in France but before the temporary residence permit was first issued, the spouse will be issued with a temporary residence permit bearing the words “vie privée et familiale” (“private and family life”) for a period of one year.
