The parents' lawyer assesses the facts<\/strong> of the case, analyzes them and determines the most favorable<\/strong> short-term and long-term solutions<\/strong>. The lawyer develops a personalized plan<\/strong> for the family situation in front of him or her. In the event of a dispute, he or she represents one or both parents in court.<\/strong> The lawyer is also involved in negotiating<\/strong> agreements with the DYP, so as to protect the parent's rights<\/strong> and interests. The parent's lawyer has a duty of loyalty to their client<\/strong>, and therefore to the parent. Their role is not only to advise<\/strong> their clients, but also to protect<\/strong> them. The parent's lawyer assesses the risks <\/strong>involved in the case and provides the parents with the appropriate explanations<\/strong>. He or she is also there to ensure that the parents' rights against the DYP are respected. The DYP does not have all the rights.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of what is the best defense against the DYP.

The DYP summons parents<\/b> to court within 48 hours in an emergency<\/b> quite frequently in youth protection cases. Therefore, when you feel that the DYP is about to file an application with the court, you should seek a lawyer without delay<\/b>. You don't want to wait for the DYP to summon you, because lawyers' schedules are full. You want to meet your lawyer as soon as possible<\/b> and secure a place<\/b> among his or her availabilities. Delay can be very damaging<\/b>. It's difficult for parents to represent themselves in court against the DYP in matters of youth protection. A lawyer can advise<\/b> you and help you avoid<\/b> making irreparable<\/b> mistakes<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In youth protection cases against the DYP, parents have the right to represent themselves<\/b> alone. Legal representation is not mandatory. Legal representation is a choice. Parents can read the following laws and legislations<\/b>: the Youth Protection Act, the Civil Code of Qu\u00e9bec, the Code of Civil Procedure of Qu\u00e9bec, the Criminal Code and the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. However, reading the law<\/b> is not<\/b> the same as understanding the law<\/b>. Reading the law is different<\/b> from applying the law correctly<\/b>. It's important to remember that lawyers have a university degree in law<\/b>, as well as a professional training<\/b> at the Bar School. Yet understanding youth protection law requires solid experience<\/b> at the Court of Quebec, Youth Division<\/b>.

To request a review of a youth protection judgment<\/strong> against the DYP, parents must bring to the attention of the Court of Quebec, Youth Division, significant new facts<\/strong> since the last judgment rendered by the Court. The new facts, which are major and therefore significant, give grounds for an application for review<\/strong>.

First and foremost, the right to appeal is not the right to a second chance <\/strong>to redo one's trial when one is not satisfied with the result. The right to appeal exists for errors of law and errors of law mixed with facts. The Court of Quebec must have made a mistake of law<\/strong> to open the parent's right of appeal against the DYP to the Superior Court. The Superior Court is the competent court to hear appeals from decisions of the Court of Quebec, Youth Division. Consult a youth protection lawyer who specializes in defending parents against the DYP to find out your chances of success<\/strong> in an appeal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No. If your lawyer comes to your meetings with the DYP, he or she may be subpoenaed as a DYP witness<\/strong> at your trial. If your lawyer is a DYP witness, he or she cannot represent you in court.

A pro forma court date in youth protection with the DYP is a court date for form's sake<\/strong>. Usually, during the pro forma, the parties set a trial date. Sometimes, the pro forma is used to clarify matters<\/strong>. Sometimes, the pro forma is used to file a draft agreement<\/strong> with the DYP.

Good testimony is first and foremost legally relevant<\/strong>. It's important to avoid <\/strong>thinking of testimony as a form of verbal autobiography in which you recount your entire life. Good testimony focuses on the legal issues at stake<\/strong> in your case before the Youth Protection Court against the DYP. A good witness is sufficiently spontaneous, 100% sincere and, as a whole, natural. A good witness is prepared to testify<\/strong>. Preparation is important in the structure<\/strong> of the testimony. Avoid being robotic<\/strong>; you'll lose credibility. Avoid improvising<\/strong>, as you'll be rambling and irrelevant.

The parents' right of refusal<\/strong> will initiate a dispute before the Court<\/strong> of Quebec, Youth Division. When the parent refuses, the DYP will refer the matter to the court for a ruling on the issues in dispute<\/strong> (the disagreements).\u00a0 Once the judgment is rendered, it has the force of law between the parties and must be complied with. The court can therefore rule in favor of the DYP and issue orders to the parents<\/strong> to cooperate with the DYP, among other things.

The DYP never has no evidence in court.

Parents can also submit exhibits and call witnesses. The court will decide the dispute on the balance of probabilities<\/strong> (which, according to the court, is 51% correct). The DYP does not have the burden of proving anything beyond a reasonable doubt, as is the case in criminal law. Youth protection law is different.

If you don't want to work with the DPJ, you have to change your strategy. Your strategy is losing. You want a winning strategy. The courts are tough on parents who don't cooperate with the DPJ.

You could be fined between $250 and $2,500. In practice, fines are not common. What is common, however, is to look bad in court if you don't cooperate. You want to make a good impression in court, <\/strong>to increase your chances of success.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At a hearing on an Application for Provisional Measures by the DPJ, in the Court of Qu\u00e9bec, Youth Division, the DPJ will have to prove either the necessity, or the risk of serious harm, or both. All in all, the hearing goes quickly. The courtroom is a high-volume room, <\/strong>with a large number of files. The court doesn't have all day to hear you specifically. Several families have to be heard. The evidence is summary and rapid. The court will issue a temporary decision <\/strong>(order for provisional measures). You will have the opportunity to return to court at a later date for your trial on the merits. At your hearing on the merits, you will have the opportunity to present a more complete case, but you must ask for a reasonable amount of time to present a complete case.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No. Once the case has been accepted as founded, the DPJ will choose an orientation for the file. The fact that you filed the report does not change the fact that the DYP has chosen to remain involved <\/strong>following your report. On the other hand, if you succeed in reassuring the DYP, she may eventually close the file on her own.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Occasionally, the DYP may omit important information from the report. In the event of litigation, you will have the opportunity to testify in court to add to or contradict other elements of the report. You'll have the opportunity to submit evidence.<\/strong> If you think you've been misinterpreted in a DPJ report, you can respectfully submit it to the DPJ and ask them to make a few changes. If the DYP refuses, remain calm. You'll have your say in court later.

Please note! It is important to distinguish <\/strong>between the obligation to cooperate <\/strong>in the essence of the Youth Protection Act (article 134 b) Y.P.A.) and the signing of an agreement <\/strong>with legal consequences <\/strong>with the DPJ. You must make yourself available to the DPJ and engage in respectful conversations; otherwise, the court will be dissatisfied and will issue the necessary orders against you. However, the obligation to cooperate does not imply agreeing with the DPJ on all points of law or on all of the DPJ's allegations. I encourage my clients to cooperate, because this cooperative attitude helps significantly in court afterwards. However, under no circumstances should you sign a document <\/strong>with serious legal consequences without the review, advice and approval <\/strong>of your lawyer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

First of all, it's important to know that the person you're working with is a person authorized <\/strong>to act on behalf of the DPJ under the Youth Protection Act. The DPJ chooses <\/strong>the authorized persons, not you, not even the court. However, you have the right to make a polite suggestion <\/strong>to the DPJ to change the worker. The DPJ can refuse or accept. The courts do not intervene <\/strong>in the choice of the person authorized to act on behalf of the DPJ, except in rare cases<\/strong>, when they may issue a recommendation<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, if your child is mature enough to understand what telling the truth <\/strong>is and to understand what he or she wants in court. The decision is made between the child and his or her lawyer. The lawyer determines the child's level of understanding and maturity<\/strong>. Age is just one indicator. If the parent wants his or her child to testify, he or she can ask the child to do so. In practice, in youth protection, the other lawyers (DPJ or child) can ask <\/strong>the court to dispense <\/strong>with the child's testimony. If the court grants the dispense, the child will not testify. Children don't often come to testify. Adolescents come more often, especially when they demand it, because their lawyer can't refuse them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
