Children and Filiation

WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE LAW?

Quebec values children’s rights and parental obligations, and there are therefore many laws to ensure the well-being of children and to facilitate a strong parent-child relationship.

in Quebec, all children have the same rights, regardless of whether or not their parents are married or if the child has a disability (CCQ 522)

For example, when a judge makes decisions regarding custody, the primary consideration is always the best interest of the child.

Being aware of the law that relates to your children is the best way to ensure that you and your child have a safe and secure life in Quebec.
