Prepare for the new Family Law Act with this essential guidebook! The Family Law Act comes into force on March 18, 2013 and brings with it a new approach to family law in British Columbia. Winner of the ACLEA Award for Professional Excellence in Publications, the Family Law Act Transition Guide is designed to help you get ready for the new Act.
