Part 7: Your rights under family law
Family law is mostly about the rights and responsibilities of partners, parents, and children. These laws deal with things like:
- decision-making responsibility for the children, which used to be called custody
- parenting time between parents and children, which used to be called access
- dividing family property
- financial support for you and the children
If you are married and want a divorce, the federal Divorce Act also applies.
