Do de facto spouses have a right to an alimony if there is termination of common life?

No, de facto spouses who ceased living together have no right to an alimony. Indeed, the Civil Code of Quebec provides that the obligation of support exists only between married couple and civil union spouses. De facto spouses, upon termination of common life, are not eligible to receive an alimony from the former de facto spouse.

However, the Civil Code of Quebec provides that the parents are always obliged to the obligation of support towards their children, and this regardless of the legal framework in which the latter were born. Thus it follows that, regardless of the type of union, every child can institute an application for support remedy against the parent negligent or at fault.
