603.1. The father or the mother or the parent may, without the other parent’s consent, due to a situation of family violence, which includes spousal violence, or of sexual violence, caused by that other parent, request health services or social services, including psychosocial support services, recognized by the Minister of Justice, for their child.

To that end, the father or the mother or the parent must first obtain an attestation from a public servant or public officer designated by the Minister of Justice who, on examining the affidavit of the father, mother or parent attesting that there exists such a situation of violence and other factual elements or documents supporting that affidavit provided by persons in contact with the persons who are victims, considers that the request is a measure beneficial to the health and safety of the child. The public servant or public officer must act promptly.
