Yes, it's incredible. Our lawyers tell us not to ask for a protection order.
As for the higher courts, you alluded to the Court of Quebec, but it's the Chambre de la jeunesse, the youth division. The judges insinuated that part of the socio-judicial intervention program for severe separation conflicts was to refer the case to the youth division. The Quebec Superior Court can no longer apply the Divorce Act because there are protection proceedings under the Youth Protection Act. The judges say it's an exceptional law that takes precedence over everything else. The criminal court is supposed to enforce the charter, but doesn't give it priority. As for the Quebec Court of Appeal, in 2023, it accepted no appeals from parents regarding a decision by the youth division.
