Need to talk through your situation?

You can then decide whether you'd like to entrust the handling of your case to us.
You're going through a family transition — and you don't know where to start.
Family law covers much more than divorce: child custody, child support, mediation, pre- and post-nuptial agreements. Every situation is unique.

Frequently asked questions about family law in Quebec
-
You may need a lawyer if you're going through a separation, a divorce, a custody or support issue, a change in your family situation, or if you're considering a marriage contract. An initial consultation helps you determine exactly what you need and what your options are.
-
Yes. We assist clients from all over the province of Quebec and can travel to any judicial district in Quebec as needed.
-
A mediator helps both parties reach an agreement together, without legal representation. A lawyer represents YOUR interests and advises you. We can support you through the mediation process — you negotiate yourself and stay in control of the decisions, but we make sure no important interest is overlooked. It's the option families often prefer.
-
Quebec law does not set a specific age. However, the courts give increasing weight to a child's preferences as they grow older. The older the child, the more their wishes are taken into account. The courts assess the child's best interests as a whole.
-
A safeguard order can be obtained quickly where an emergency is demonstrated. Contact us without delay — we can bring such an application before the court, sometimes within a few days.
-
We listen to your situation, identify the key legal issues and propose a clear strategy with an estimated budget. You leave with a precise understanding of your options and next steps — with no obligation to proceed with us. If you retain us, the consultation fee is credited to your file.
