 As of the end of 2009, half of the people who had registered for Auto-Entrepreneur status – created on the first day of 2009 – had no other job activity and were registered as being unemployed. French and American people will interpret this very differently, because they will focus on two different issues.

 The French government is allowing most self-employed professionals to sign on to the Auto-Entrepreneur status, providing that they comply with all of the requirements. Primarily, annual sales must be less than 32,000 euros, and family income from all sources, including the revenues from the business calculated as sales minus all professional expenses, must not exceed 25,926 euros for the year 2008.

 Dear Mr. Taquet: I was in Paris for two months earlier this year trying to figure out what kind of visa I need in order to work here. I am in an odd situation since I have two careers, so to speak. I am an independent contractor working online and also an actress and model. I want to know which job offers I can legally accept while in France.

 Dear Mr. Taquet: I am American and moved back to the USA shortly after a no-fault divorce, divorce à l’amiable, in 2007. I would like some advice about my rights regarding my child who lives with his father. My ex-husband now has a permanent partner in his life and I am not receiving any information nor am I asked my opinion about the decisions made for my son, even though the divorce decree states that the two parents must decide.

 When any official authority makes a decision it should show discernment and fairness, in addition to applying the current legislation and the constitution. Often the authorities fail to do this, especially if they are following a political agenda, protecting the interests of a lobby, or heeding the opinion of the majority of the people. Likewise, the pertinence of a policy is not easy to see when the results are expected one or two generations later.Right now, both in France and in the USA, there are heated public debates about policies that will affect the long-term futures of both countries.
