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).

What the provisions read require

• C.C.P., art. 415 — French text: the court “s’assure que le consentement de chacune des parties a été donné sans contrainte et que l’entente préserve suffisamment l’intérêt des parties et des enfants et le respect de leurs droits”. (LégisQuébec — Code de procédure civile, C-25.01, read on 2026-10-21)
• C.C.P., art. 448 — French text: parents who agree on a different amount “doivent, dans leur entente et dans le formulaire, énoncer avec précision les motifs de cet écart”. (LégisQuébec — Code de procédure civile, C-25.01, read on 2026-10-21)
• C.C.P., art. 449 — French text: the party who is a recipient of a social assistance, social solidarity or basic income program “doit y déclarer ce fait”, including for benefits received during the period covered. (LégisQuébec — Code de procédure civile, C-25.01, read on 2026-10-21)
• C.C.P., art. 430 (divorce on a draft agreement) — French text: the draft agreement is “daté et signé par eux, porte règlement complet des conséquences de leur demande”. (LégisQuébec — Code de procédure civile, C-25.01, read on 2026-10-21)
• Superior Court family rules, arts. 21, 25, 28 — French text: art. 21 “Dans les demandes conjointes, toutes les pièces sont produites au greffe en même temps que la demande”; art. 25 (resources and situation); art. 28 (renunciation of retirement rights). (LégisQuébec — Règlement de la Cour supérieure du Québec en matière familiale, C-25.01, r. 0.2.4, read on 2026-10-15)
• Divorce Act, s. 16.6(2) — “parenting plan means a document or part of a document that contains the elements relating to parenting time, decision-making responsibility or contact to which the parties agree” (Justice Canada — Divorce Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. 3 (2nd Supp.), read on 2026-10-21)

Time limits read

• No deadline specific to the agreement was read; in joint applications all exhibits are filed with the application (art. 21).

Exhibits and documents

• Child-support determination form of each parent and declarations under art. 444.
• Birth certificates; marriage certificate in a divorce.
• Mediator’s report, if any; sworn statements of the parties (model 3 of the 2021 brochure).

To verify (not read or not settled)

• The Ministry brochures (December 2021, July 2022) predate the Unified Family Court and the parental union; the court seized depends on art. 37.2 C.C.P.
• C.C.P., art. 454 (homologation): text not quoted, to be re-read.
• Registration of a renunciation in the RDPRM (C.C.Q., arts. 423, 521.41): form NOT READ (site blocked, HTTP 403).

Complete template (category A), titled as the lexicon requires: “Draft agreement — to be submitted for homologation”. The mentions of C.C.P. arts. 415, 430, 448 and 449 and of the family rules are quoted as read by reports 06 and 13-01. The agreement takes effect only as the court decides. 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.
