Hi JP and Nate

I have made some substantive changes here you will want to check.
+
1.'''Language''': I use Aboriginal (capitalized)to include "Indians," Inuit and Metis - but use First Nations rather than "Indians."  I refer to heritage rather than "roots." I do not use "native."
  
−
1. '''In the introduction''', I just refer to the Indian Act, rather than talking about the federal government's exclusive jurisdiction over Indians and land reserved for Indians . . .  Where the text recommends that readers get the "advice of a family law lawyer''', I added "'''who has expertise in Aboriginal law'''. See what you think.
+
2. In '''Resources and links''' I removed Native Community Law Offices (gone, alas, and grievously missed) and put in the current LSS services. I took out the Native Friendship Centre suggestion because Clicklaw seems to offer only one that I can see - in Quesnel. (I would have thought folks would go to the Friendship Centre - am I missing something here?)
  
−
2. '''In the information about paying child support''', I changed the first couple of sentences to make it more simple. (I also put in some para breaks.)
+
BTW they go to the Courtworkers, who aren't funded to do family . . .
  
−
3. '''Language''': I use Aboriginal (capitalized) in the standard way (to include "Indians," Inuit and Metis) - but use First Nations rather than "Indians."  I refer to heritage rather than "roots." I do not use "native."
+
Suggestions?

4. In '''Resources and links''' I removed Native Community Law Offices (gone, alas, alas, and grievously missed) and put in the current LSS services. I took out the Native Friendship Centre suggestion because Clicklaw seems to offer only one I can see - in Quesnel.

3. The section on '''Access, parenting time and contact''', uses only the term "access" in its final paragraph. Does this matter?

1.Language: I use Aboriginal (capitalized)to include "Indians," Inuit and Metis - but use First Nations rather than "Indians." I refer to heritage rather than "roots." I do not use "native."

2. In Resources and links I removed Native Community Law Offices (gone, alas, and grievously missed) and put in the current LSS services. I took out the Native Friendship Centre suggestion because Clicklaw seems to offer only one that I can see - in Quesnel. (I would have thought folks would go to the Friendship Centre - am I missing something here?)

BTW they go to the Courtworkers, who aren't funded to do family . . .

Suggestions?

3. The section on Access, parenting time and contact, uses only the term "access" in its final paragraph. Does this matter?

A law student's mnemonic device, short for "Bigamy = Two Wives."

Under the Family Law Act, a term which describes the time a guardian has with a child and during which is responsible for the day-to-day care of the child. Under the Divorce Act, a term which describes the time a spouse has with a child and during which is responsible for the day-to-day care of the child. See "guardian" and "spouse."

Under the Family Law Act, a term that describes the time a person who is not a guardian of a child, including a parent who is not a guardian, has with that child. Under the Divorce Act, a term that describes the time a person who is not a married spouse has with a child. See "guardian" and "parental responsibilities."

Under the old Divorce Act, the schedule of a parent's time with their children under an order or agreement, replaced with "parenting time" and "contact" in the new Divorce Act. Access usually referred to the schedule of the parent with the least amount of time with the child. See "contact," "custody" and "parenting time."
