==Description==
'''Filiation''' is the [[legal]] term that refers to the recognized legal [[status]] of the [[relationship]] between [[family]] members, or more specifically the legal relationship between [[parent]] and [[child]]. As described by the Government of Quebec:

<blockquote>Filiation is the relationship which exists between a child and the child’s parents, whether the parents are of the same or the opposite sex. The relationship can be established by blood, by law in certain cases, or by a judgment of adoption. Once filiation has been established, it creates rights and obligations for both the child and the parents, regardless of the circumstances of the child’s birth.</blockquote>

Filiation differs from, but impacts, both [[parental]] [[rights]] and inheritance.

An example of law regarding filiation is found in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_Quebec Civil Code of Quebec], Book 2, Title 2 "Filiation"[3], which details how filiation may be established, claimed, and transferred.
