Family breakdown is rarely simple—children, finances, and futures hang in the balance. We litigate contested divorces, custody and parenting disputes, child and spousal support, access, asset and property division. We also handle marriage contracts, appeals, and international family matters. When negotiation fails, we're in your corner.

We represent parents, children, and extended family—from Youth Protection reports ("signalements") to Department of Youth Protection (DYP/DPJ) investigations and Youth Division hearings. We protect parental authority and advocate for the child's best interests.

We handle will contests, capacity challenges, undue influence claims, and disputes over disinheritance and forced heirship. We also remove negligent liquidators and recover misappropriated assets.

Animal law disputes often intersect with family law (pet custody in divorce), estate litigation (animals in succession), and constitutional challenges (breed bans and discriminatory bylaws). We coordinate across these systems to protect both animal welfare and owner rights.

We represent clients in divorce and separation—whether married or in a de facto (common-law) union. We protect your interests across custody, support, and property disputes, from contested litigation to negotiated settlements.

We secure fair, enforceable support arrangements. Our lawyers handle spousal support claims—compensatory, non-compensatory, unjust enrichment—and child support disputes including arrears, extraordinary expenses, enforcement, and retroactive claims under Quebec and Federal Guidelines.

We resolve parenting time and decision-making disputes—relocation, school choice, religious upbringing, travel conflicts—always grounded in the child's best interests. We handle psychosocial expertises, in loco parentis claims, custody assessments, and urgent Hague Convention abduction cases.

We protect your financial rights in family property division—family patrimony, marriage or cohabitation contracts, and matrimonial regimes. We address complex assets (business shares, pensions, real estate), marriage gifts, reimbursements, and structuring transactions to minimize tax exposure and financial risk.

We resolve disputes over prenuptial, postnuptial, and cohabitation contracts—challenging or enforcing their terms when relationships break down. We handle conflicts involving religious marriage contracts, including Ketubah and Mahr, as well as common-law partnership agreements, property opt-outs, and spousal support waivers.

We handle appeals when courts misapply the law, ignore key evidence, or were affected by lack of full and frank financial disclosure, concealment of assets, or other appealable reasons. We also bring Charter challenges when legislation violates fundamental rights, violate constitutional separation of powers, or discriminate unjustly.

When family law crosses borders, complexity multiplies. We handle Hague Convention child abduction cases, international custody relocations, foreign judgment recognition, cross-border asset division, and support enforcement worldwide. We coordinate with global legal networks and respond to emergencies around the clock.

Religious obligations don't disappear when relationships end. We handle Get refusal litigation, Mahr enforcement and defence, Catholic annulment coordination, and recognition of foreign religious marriage contracts under Quebec law—protecting your rights when faith and civil law intersect.
