Description

Canadian Family Law provides expert insight into a wide variety of legal issues that confront Canadian families today.

Also, there are new sections treating post-separation need for spousal support; custody, custody orders, and access; and maximum contact: infants and toddlers.

The book will be of particular interest to judges, legal practitioners, mediators, arbitrators and other professionals who require an understanding of the law related to families. It also provides a unique source of information for law students and their professors.
