Parents With Outdated Orders
Job loss, relocation, or your child's changing needs made current custody or support arrangements unworkable. We modify orders when life circumstances make existing judgments impossible to follow.
Our Services
Constitutional & Appellate Litigation Lawyers in Montreal
When the court gets it wrong, we make it right. We handle urgent appeals, challenge discriminatory laws, and reopen judgments obtained through fraud or procedural violations. Whether correcting legal errors, protecting Charter rights, or adapting orders to life changes, we navigate Quebec's appellate and constitutional litigation with precision and strategic vision.
The system can get it wrong. We make it right.
Our Clients
Those Affected by Legal Errors
The judge misapplied the law, ignored key evidence, or procedural mistakes affected your case outcome. We appeal judgments where legal errors cost you what you deserved.
Victims of Concealment and Fraud
Hidden assets surfaced after your judgment, income was understated, or documents were falsified. We reopen closed cases when fraud prevented fair division of property or support.
Those Challenging Unequal Treatment
Quebec law may sometimes treat certain groups differently based on marital status, religion, or other protected grounds in an unjustified manner. We launch Charter challenges when laws or court practices violate fundamental rights.
Support Payors Facing Financial Crisis
Unemployment, disability, or business collapse can destroy your income while support obligations continue. We file urgent modifications when SARPA doesn't apply or emergency relief is needed.

Our Approach
Rapid Case Assessment
Appeals have a 30-day deadline. Modifications need immediate filing to stop accumulating debt. We review your judgment within 48 hours, identifying grounds for appeal, modification potential, or reopening possibilities. Quick assessment prevents lost opportunities.
Strategic Threshold Analysis
Not every unhappy outcome is appealing. We honestly assess whether legal errors exist, if changes are "material," or if fraud can be proven. When thresholds aren't met, we explore alternatives: negotiations, payment plans, or waiting for stronger grounds.
Procedural Precision
Post-judgment proceedings have rigid rules. One missed deadline or improper filing kills your case. We navigate notice requirements, service rules, filing procedures, and hearing protocols that trap self-represented litigants. Technical compliance preserves substantive rights.
