Webinar: Making the new Divorce Act work for women

Parenting order: Replaces "custody order", "access order", "custody & access order"; Assigns parenting time & decision-making responsibility

The new Divorce Act came into effect on March 1, 2021.

Luke’s Place followed the process of Bill C-78, which proposed the changes the Act. In late 2018, we testified as a witness before the Standing Committee on the Bill and submitted a brief on it to the Committee in collaboration with the National Association of Women and the Law. The bill was passed in June 2019. After a delay in the implementation during the pandemic, the new law is now in effect.

Luke’s Place delivers this webinar in partnership with Women’s Shelters Canada.
