Complete template that you fill in for your own file. The fixed text only carries the mentions the cited provisions require; the facts, choices and requests are yours. The tool does not file, serve, swear or send anything, does not choose a remedy or a deadline for you, and guarantees no outcome (Act respecting the Barreau du Québec, s. 128: “to prepare and draw up a notice, motion, proceeding or other similar document intended for use in a case before the courts”, “performed for others”, is the exclusive prerogative of the practising advocate or solicitor).

Complete template (category A). Art. 596.1 C.C.Q. is quoted as read by research 13-01 (LégisQuébec, current to 12 August 2026); the list of documents comes from the official determination form read on 2026-10-13. The letter asks; it does not threaten or predict anything. Québec statutes and most Québec sources linked here were read in French; English wording in this guide is an unofficial summary unless an official English text is linked.

Preuve en main is a preparation and legal-information tool. It gives no legal advice, replaces neither a lawyer nor the official form, and guarantees no outcome.
