Under the provincial ''Family Law Act'', each spouse is presumed to keep what he or she brought into their relationship and to share in the things they acquire during their relationship. The same rules apply about debt; spouses are presumed to share responsibility for the debts that accumulated during their relationship. The federal ''Divorce Act'' doesn't talk about the division of property or debt. | Under the provincial ''Family Law Act'', each spouse is presumed to keep what he or she brought into their relationship and to share in the things they acquire during their relationship.
