Major Changes Ahead for B.C. Family Law

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Province reports: B.C. proposes sweeping legal changes for separation, divorce, child custody:

Highlights of the government white paper on proposed changes to the Family Relations Act:

? Structure the law so that court is not the only implied starting point.

? Promote a broader range of non-court dispute resolution options.

? Adopt a conflict-prevention approach to family-law disputes.

? Increase the law?s ability to deal with family violence and safety issues.

? Use less adversarial terminology.

Also under consideration are revisions the the B.C. Family Relations Act that will provide common law spouses with the same property entitlements as married spouses, a parenting coordination focus with respect to child residency issues, and mandatory mediation by separating spouses prior to the commencement of court proceedings.
