The most important legislation in family and divorce law are the provincial ''Family Law Act'' and the federal ''Divorce Act''. There is also a very important federal regulation, the Child Support Guidelines, and an important academic paper, the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines. You may also run into other laws, like the ''Name Act'' or the ''Partition of Property Act'', which weren't written just for family law disputes but still relate to your situation.
