TL;DR
A new law amendment in Quebec will allow a child to have up to three legal parents, recognizing the evolving nature of family structures. This change aims to reflect the diversity of families including same-sex couples and polyamorous relationships. The legislation ensures that the rights and obligations of all parents are legally recognized, enhancing the protection and support for children's well-being. Advocates argue this is a progressive step towards inclusivity, while critics express concerns about possible complications in parental responsibilities and legal standings.
