Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about declaration of paternity in Quebec.
The declaration can be made as soon as the child is born, or at any time thereafter. However, it is advisable to do so as soon as possible to establish rights and responsibilities.
Not always, but it may be required by the court to establish paternity indisputably, especially in the event of a dispute.
The court may issue an order to this effect.
A specialist lawyer will guide you through the legal process, draw up and file the necessary documents, and represent you in court to defend your rights and those of your child.
The presumption of paternity is a legal rule whereby the mother’s husband is automatically recognized as the legal father of any child born during the marriage or within 300 days of its dissolution or annulment.
This presumption can be challenged in court, usually by a DNA paternity test, if the husband or another claimant to paternity questions this attribution. The challenge must be made within a strict legal framework and within precise time limits set by law.
