'''The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the justice system and how family law problems are resolved. Clicklaw has gathered helpful links and resources about the virus in a new page, [[Covid-19 Resources for British Columbians]]. Information about how the courts are responding can be found on the websites of the [https://www.provincialcourt.bc.ca/COVID19 Provincial Court] and the [https://www.bccourts.ca/supreme_court/ Supreme Court], and John-Paul Boyd's [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzCWEyKKny_W3qDfyrSM-6Q YouTube channel] on family law topics, "Five Minute Family Law," now includes ''COVID-19 and Family Law'', [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EpGWhNSBk8 Part 1] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoDWuFLhjEw&t=221s Part 2].'''
 
The ''Divorce Act'' will be changing on 1 March 2021, and so will this wikibook. In the meantime, we've prepared a summary of the more important changes. Read our page on [[the New Divorce Act]].
