What are the rights and obligations arising from common-law marriages and same-sex relationships? What do the new laws have to say about spousal support and child support? Should I enter into a domestic contract before I marry? Canadian Family Law answers all these questions, and many more, using up-to-date case studies to help illustrate the law.

It also deals with important valuation issues and looks at important constitutional cases.
