“Quebec family law perceives non-married women and their children as having less value than married families and it’s even worse for women who are common law without children,” Goldwater said.The 2013 Supreme Court decision noted that while there was discrimination toward common-law couples, it could be allowed under a section of the Canadian charter which allows for the limitation of rights in certain circumstances.
Under Quebec’s current law, common-law spouses aren’t entitled to alimony, division of the family patrimony or the right to occupy the home after the split. While any children stemming from the relationship have a right to support, the fact that the parent doesn’t get alimony or a share of the wealth will result in a lower standard of living for the children, Goldwater says.

Sean Speer: What François Legault’s popularity says about Quebec conservatismOne of the most interesting political developments of the past twelve months has been Quebec premier François Legault’s sustained, massive popular support.… There is no conservatism in Quebec, all our nationalist's national indentities is wrapped around feminism, socialism, abortion rights and globohomo bullshit. The only thing they dislike about immigration is conservative immigrants, because they don't share these values. Funny to see a Super Rightist media from the more conservative, more religious, more American, RoC, pointing at a kind of conservatism in Kwébac. You state that « (English Canada) prioritizes the protection of liberal individualism ». Implicitely, the protection of religions would then ensure « the protection of liberal individualism »? Is there anything more hostile to liberal individualism than religions?
