Divorce Day: Surge In Divorce Filings After New Year’s
Over the years, the couple must have accumulated a lot of financial obligations, including property and debt. And if there are any children or pets involved, this further complicates the issue. The laws governing custody in divorce cases in Canada vary slightly from province to province. For example, British Columbia recently amended their Family Law Act in January 2024 to treat pets as members of the family in such cases. Up until then, pets were treated as property, with the court identifying one of the spouses as its owner and awarding the possession of the pet to them. But with the new amendment in place, courts awarding the joint custody of pets has become more common.
