In France, a civil solidarity pact (French: pacte civil de solidarité), commonly known as a PACS (pronounced[paks]), is a contractual form of civil union between two adults for organising their joint life. It brings rights and responsibilities, but less so than marriage. The PACS was voted for by the French Parliament in October 1999, largely to offer some legal status to same-sex couples.
From a legal standpoint, a PACS is a contract drawn up between the two individuals, which is stamped and registered by the clerk of the court. In some areas, couples signing a PACS have the option of undergoing a formal ceremony at the city hall identical to that of civil marriage.[1] Since 2006, individuals who have registered a PACS are no longer considered single in terms of their marital status; their birth records will be amended to show their status as pacsé.[2]
As of 2013, PACS remain available to both same and opposite-sex couples after marriage and adoption rights were made legal for same-sex couples in May 2013.
