The Divorce Act (Canada)

The Divorce Act (Canada) is federal legislation that governs the legal process of divorce in Canada. It outlines the grounds for divorce, such as separation for at least one year or proof of adultery or cruelty. The Act also addresses issues like child custody, support, and property division to ensure fair treatment for families. It emphasizes the best interests of children in custody decisions. The law aims to provide a clear framework for couples going through divorce, helping to resolve disputes and promote stability for all involved. Revisions in 2021 aimed to modernize and improve the process.
