Difference between revisions of "Divorce Act Basics"

Both the ''[[Divorce Act]]'' and the ''[[Family Law Act]]'' talk about the care of children, child support, and spousal support. As long as a person is married, they can start a court proceeding about these issues under either law or under both laws at the same time. However, if orders about the division of property and debt, personal protection orders and financial protection orders, the parentage of a child, or the use of the family home are required, those claims must be made under the ''Family Law Act''; see the section [[Family Law Act Basics|''Family Law Act'' Basics]] for more information.
