It takes a village. If you want kids to really have support, the more the merrier.
So you're saying I should become a serial monogamist and I can collect child support from 4 people now?
James Holden has a safe future in Quebec.
Well, I guess we're not at full genetic mix yet.
Fuck yeah! Thanks for sharing this. It's nice to see some potentially good news in the world. :)
Good news, but sad it took until 2025 for us to get here. And I hope its not actually limited to just 4 parents. These arbitrary limits need to end.
Quebec is going to court against it because obviously the government in place is stuck in 1965
Polygamy is back on the menu boys!
Polyamory*
I wish people would read an article before commenting on it. It specifically addresses this.
Quebec’s ruling does not apply to all possible multi-family structures. Polygamy, where one is married to more than one spouse, is prohibited in Canada. The judgment is also limited to multi-parent families that were together before the child entered the family.
I just needed to make the joke, because part of me is still a child.
How many parents does that part of you have?
