# Quel est le délai pour demander le partage du patrimoine familial après une séparation?

In Québec, a spouse who wishes to request the division of family patrimony must act within three years of the event that ends the marriage or union, as stated in C.c.Q. art. 427. This period begins at the date of divorce judgment, legal separation, annulment, or death of one spouse. After this prescriptive period, the right to claim division is lost unless both parties agree to proceed voluntarily. The rule ensures timely financial settlement and finality in family property matters.

C.c.Q. art. 427, 465
