Note that as of the 2024 update, the content on property division under the former Family Relations Act is no longer updated, given the time that has elapsed since the introduction of the Family Law Act and the increasingly fewer cases to which the Family Relations Act could apply. The existing content is preserved only as reference material for counsel for those matters still being decided under the repealed legislation.Annual subscription rates are based on firm size. A monthly payment option is available.
