The provincial ''[[Family Law Act]]'' defines ''spouse'' as including married spouses and unmarried couples, providing that the unmarried couple has lived together in a "marriage-like relationship" for at least two years, or lived together for less than two years if they have had a child. Because the federal ''[[Divorce Act]]'' only applies to married spouses, all of the rules that apply when unmarried relationships end are found in the ''Family Law Act''.
