MATRIMONIAL LAW
Marriage and civil union

Husbands and wives and civil union spouses are equal by law. Whether a wedding is civil or religious, or whether the spouses enter into a civil union, certain requirements relating to age, capacity, matrimonial status, blood ties, the officiating minister or official, and the publication of certain notices must be met. Dupré Bédard informs you of the steps to take and the applicable laws.

Customs change. Nowadays, many couples decide to live together without getting married or entering into a civil union. The individuals concerned, however, may not be aware of the applicable laws. The Notaries of Dupré Bédard can answer all your questions.
