In Canada, family law is governed by federal and provincial laws that deal with family related legal issues, including marriage, separation and divorce, custody and access, child protection, division of property, support, and adoption. The area of family law often includes financial negotiations, inheritance issues, and the drafting and interpretation of prenuptial contracts and separation agreements. Primarily statute-based, family law is codified mainly within statues, including the federal Divorce Act, which applies to married people residing in Canada. Statutes that vary from province to province govern issues such as the division of family property, child protection, and custody and support matters between unmarried people.
