Family Law Advisory Services in Quebec
The breakup of a couple can have many legal consequences in family law in Quebec. You must immediately consider child custody, spousal support, child support for minors, child support for adults, and the division of family property and assets (i.e., other property) when it comes to divorce. We can represent you in court at the Superior Court of Quebec to assert your rights while considering the best interests of your children. Before reaching this stage, the government offers interesting services to parents to alleviate the burden on the courts. We will be happy to advise you and explore the other means at your disposal to resolve your disputes before going to court.
Free Mediation Sessions
Free Mediation Sessions
Did you know that in some cases, you can have access to free family law mediation sessions in Quebec? Indeed, if you are a couple with dependent children at the time of separation, you can benefit from up to five (5) hours of free mediation paid for by the government. In this regard, we refer you to the following link: Link to Quebec Ministry of Justice - Family Mediation Duration and Cost
Using this type of service can be beneficial for the entire family. Indeed, a separation involving children can be emotionally challenging for both parents and children. Mediation is, therefore, an interesting option in family law in Quebec to avoid resorting to the judicial process.
If, following your mediation sessions, you reach an agreement, you will only need to have it ratified by the special clerk. This is a procedure that we can prepare for you, so you do not have to worry about the legal paperwork.
Parenting Information Session After Separation
Parenting Information Session After Separation
In family law in Quebec, it is now mandatory for parents, during a separation, to attend a parenting information session when they disagree on issues related to their separation.
Failure to attend such an information session will result in no judgment being rendered. It is understood that a judge may impose a deadline for the parties to attend in cases where parents fail to fulfill this obligation.
In addition to being mandatory, this information session can be very useful for the parties, as it equips them better.
It should be noted that this information session lasts for two (2) hours and is free. Also, you must register in advance to attend. It is especially important to keep the original certificate that will be given to you at the end of the session. Indeed, this certificate will be necessary to demonstrate that you have fulfilled your obligation.
