relation
In 1984, Francis McDormand married director Joel Cohen. Since then, they have adopted a son together.
Legal Issues
In 2019, it was reported that Francis and her husband Joel were suing their neighbors. The couple were unable to reach an agreement with their neighbors on the disputed property line between their home in Bolinas, California. Cohen and McDormand claimed that their neighbors ignored the border and encroached on their land. The neighbors claimed that the Cohens had committed embezzlement.
The Cohens first bought the house in 2005. In 2007, their neighbors conducted a survey and found that the so-called “historical” boundary was actually wrong. According to them, the driveway and garage of the Cohens are actually located on their land. Facts have proved that mediation is not effective in resolving this dispute.
