Youth Protection Law
When a situation compromises or risks compromising the safety or development of a child, the intervention of the Direction de la protection de la jeunesse (DPJ) can have significant repercussions for the entire family. Our youth protection lawyers at Noël et Associés support you with professionalism and compassion during these times when decisions made can have decisive consequences for the child’s future. Whether you are a parent, a family member, or directly affected by a DPJ intervention, our team advises and represents you at every stage of the case, both with caseworkers and at the Youth Division of the Court of Quebec.
Every youth protection case involves its own unique challenges and requires a strategy adapted to the specific circumstances of the child and their family. Our lawyers can intervene in cases involving the endangerment of a child’s safety or development, protection measures, voluntary measures, custody or placement conditions, and the terms for maintaining relationships between the child and their loved ones. We put our experience and expertise at the service of our clients to assert their rights, while keeping the best interests of the child and the search for solutions promoting their safety, stability, and well-being at the heart of our intervention.
