 There is a bunch of other legislation that deals with family law problems, such as the ''Adoption Act'' (which deals with adoption), the ''Name Act'' (which deals with changing your name and your children's names), the ''Land Title Act'' (which has to do with land and houses), and the ''Vital Statistics Act'' (which has to do with registering births, deaths, marriages and divorces). The most important of these other laws is the Child Support Guidelines.
