Family law and social welfare legislation in Canada / Ivan Bernier and Andrée Lajoie, research coordinators.: Z1-1983/1-41-49E-PDF

"This paper examines contemporary private family law in Canada and its present and prospective role with respect to the well-being of families following marriage breakdown and divorce. Private family law may be defined as the system of laws regulating the rights and responsibilities of family members with respect to one another, as opposed to public law which regulates relationships between individuals and the state. Radical changes have taken place in recent years in the federal and provincial laws governing the rights and obligations of spouses to one another on marriage breakdown or divorce."--p. 1.
