How do I appeal a family court decision in Quebec?

In Québec, an appeal from a family court judgment—such as a divorce, custody, or support order—must be filed in the Court of Appeal within 30 days of the judgment’s notice (Code of Civil Procedure, art. 360). Appeals may concern errors of law, errors of fact, or mixed questions. In limited cases, interim orders are immediately enforceable despite appeal unless the Court of Appeal grants a stay (art. 351–353 C.p.c.). The appellate court may confirm, vary, or set aside the judgment and render the decision it deems appropriate. See Droit de la famille – 181335 (C.A., 2018).
