Hi RIch

I believe you would need to live in France for several years before you could apply for a French passport. As you are married to a French citizen you can work in the UK or France without a work permit. I would suggest you contact the French Consulate in the UK to find out more about citizenship requirements: http://www.ambafrance.org.uk/asp/hp.asp?LNG=en

Hope this helps!

Definitive response to your question: one year, and no, you do not need to live in France. If you have a child, you can request citizenship immediately

Taken from the website http://sos-net.eu.org/etrangers/indexetr.htm

Une circulaire DPM n°2000-414 du 20/7 /2000 rappelle les conditions et les modalités d'instruction.

1. Vous devez être marié depuis au moins un an avant de déclarer vouloir devenir français.
2. Cependant, ce délai est supprimé si vous avez eu ensemble un enfant qui est né avant ou après le mariage.
3. Vous devez possédez un titre de séjour
4. Votre conjoint français doit être français au jour du mariage et à la date de votre souscription sans interruption
5. Votre communauté de vie ne doit pas avoir cessée. A cet effet, vous devrez établir une déclaration sur l’honneur qui sera vérifiée par une enquête de l’administration. (Vous devrez produire des documents tels que : justification d’un compte bancaire joint, contrat de bail commun, avis d’imposition etc.). La naissance d'un enfant issu du couple ne dispense pas le déclarant de produire ces documents. On relève par ailleurs que la Cour de cassation a jugé que le seul dépôt d'une requête en divorce n'emporte pas présomption de cessation de toute communauté de vie entre les époux.
6. Il n’y a pas d’obligation de résidence du couple en France qui soit exigé pour que vous puissiez acquérir la nationalité française.

Translation:

1. You must be married for at least one year before declaring that you wish to assume French nationality
2. This delay is not applicable if you have a child that was born before or after the marriage.
3. You need a long stay visa
4. Your spouse must be of French nationality, on the day of the marriage and on the date of your application
5. You must be living together. To this end, you will need to supply a declaration to this effect that will be independently verified by the French administration. You will need to supply documentary proof such as: common bank account, common lease agreement, tax return form. The birth of a child does not revlieve the application of the obligation to supply such documentation. We note also that the appeal court has ruled that an applicaiton for divorce does not automatically presume the termination of cohabitation between the two people.
6. There is no obligation for the couple to reside in France in order to acquire Frecnh nationality
