Difference between revisions of "Polyamorous Relationships"

We do have government policy that expects a child to have as many as three parents, because that's how Vital Statistics updated their forms when the ''Family Law Act'' became law. We also have cases where married spouses delayed getting divorced for long enough that they qualified as the unmarried spouse of the person they moved in with after separating from their married spouse — ''[http://canlii.ca/t/1v75j Austin v Goerz]'', a 2006 decision of our Supreme Court, is a good example of cases like this — but we don't have cases saying that people can have more than one spouse in other circumstances. Now, the plain language of the ''Family Law Act'' says quite clearly that a child can have up to six parents and that a person can have more than one spouse at the same time, but we haven't had a ''judge'' say that this is what the ''Family Law Act'' says.
