Issues about names mostly come up when a child is born, when people enter into new relationships and when they separate, and, after separation, sometimes when someone wants to change the name of a child. In a family law context, people usually change their names when they marry and when they divorce. The provincial ''[http://canlii.ca/t/8481 Name Act]'' also allows people to change their names just because they feel like it, without the necessity of a marriage or a divorce.
