	}}Polyamorous relationships are relationships involving more than two adults; someone who identifies as ''polyamorous'' is or prefers to be in a relationship with more than one other person at a time. (The "poly" part of polyamorous comes from the Greek word for ''many'', while the "amorous" part comes from the Latin word for ''love''.) Polyamorous relationships are tremendously diverse. They may include adults who are married to each other and adults who have had children together. They may include people who live together and some who don't. The people in a polyamorous relationship may or may not identify as a "family," they may or may not share the same home, and they may or may not own property together. Not only are polyamorous relationships varied and diverse, they can be ''complicated''.		}}Polyamorous relationships are relationships involving more than two adults; someone who identifies as ''polyamorous'' is or prefers to be in a relationship with more than one other person at a time.

	If you are entering or leaving a polyamorous relationship, it's critically important that you get legal advice about your situation. You can't assume that the law will apply to you the way it did to friends and family who entered or left pair relationships. The trick, of course, is finding the right lawyer to give you that advice.		If you are entering or leaving a polyamorous relationship, it's critically important that you get legal advice about your situation. You can't assume that the law will apply to you the way it did to friends and family who entered or left pair relationships. The trick, of course, is finding the right lawyer to give you that advice.

	The "[[You & Your Lawyer\|You and Your Lawyer]]~~" section~~ in the chapter on [[Understanding the Legal System for Family Law Matters \| Understanding the Legal System]] has information about how to find and hire a lawyer. However, people involved in polyamorous relationships need to make an extra effort to find family law lawyers who are familiar with this kind of relationship. A lot of lawyers who deal with problems involving these relationships will say so on their website. If you can't find someone who says explicitly that they handle polyamorous family law problems, then call a lawyer outside your hometown, or even outside of British Columbia, who deals with polyamorous families and see if they can refer you to someone. Or, you could also try contacting a family law lawyer whose website says they deal with LGBTQ issues. LGBTQ issues are ''not'' polyamorous issues, but lawyers who routinely manage LGBTQ issues in the family law context are more likely to have an idea about how family law works in the context of polyamory.
