The provincial ''Family Law Act'' is the primary legislation on family law issues in British Columbia. It applies to married spouses, unmarried spouses, people in other unmarried relationships and to people who have an interest in children, like a family member. It talks about the care of children after separation and about how guardians are appointed. It also deals with financial issues like child support, spousal support and the division of property and debt, and with family violence, court processes and ways of resolving family law problems without going to court. | The provincial ''Family Law Act'' is the primary legislation on family law issues in British Columbia.
