Profile of family law cases in Canada, 2019/2020 / by Lyndsay Ciavaglia Burns.: CS85-002/41-11E-PDF
"Using data from the Civil Court Survey, this Juristat article will examine family law cases active in the Canadian civil courts in the 2019/2020 fiscal year. It will profile various case types where spouses or couples have experienced a family breakdown, which required the assistance of a court to dissolve (i.e. a marriage) or resolve (such as custody, access and/or support issues). Criminal court cases are out of scope for this survey. Additional analysis is provided on the contentious nature of the case, the sex of the applicant and respondent, whether the parties were represented by legal counsel or self-represented, types of court activity that took place throughout the fiscal year and the average number of days it took a case to reach a first disposition"--Page 4.
