Same-sex Family Law

With the passing of The Civil Marriages Act in 2005, same-sex marriage was finally legalized in Canada. The laws with respect to same-sex (married) couples who are in the process of separation and/or divorce are identical to heterosexual married couples as long as the parties reside primarily in Canada.
