The Québec Court of Appeal ruled today, that common-law spouses are discriminated against by the Québec Civil Code because they are deprived of a right to alimony that married couples have.
The decision could affect more than one million Quebecers, and pave the way for common-law spouses to obtain alimony when they split from their partner.
It is shocking to me that over 60 percent of children born in Québec in the past eight years were born out of wedlock!
