Summary:

"The Family Law Act doesn’t change the Divorce Act. The Divorce Act still applies to people who are married, along with the Family Law Act." -- Clicklaw Wikibook: JP Boyd on Family Law (Feb. 2, 2018)

"The provincial Family Law Act is the primary legislation on family law issues in British Columbia. It applies to married spouses, unmarried spouses, and people in other unmarried relationships. It also applies to people who have an interest in someone else's children, like a family member or friend. The Family Law Act talks about the care of children after separation and about how guardians are appointed. It also deals with financial issues like child support, spousal support and the division of property and debt, as well as with family violence, court processes, and ways of resolving family law problems without going to court."--Clicklaw Wikibook: JP Boyd on Family Law (Feb. 2, 2018)
