How do I get an emergency custody order in Quebec?

In Québec, you may apply to the Superior Court for an emergency custody order when a child’s safety, health, or welfare is at risk. Under C.c.Q. art. 33 and C.p.c. arts. 49, 510–511, the court may act ex parte (without notifying the other parent) if delay could harm the child. You must provide clear evidence of danger or urgent need. Orders made in this context are temporary and followed by a full hearing once both parents are heard.
