→Dividing family property
===Dividing family property===
The ''[[Family Law Act]]'' deals with the division of property and debt when a couple separates. This law applies to people who are '''spouses ''' — that is, to married couples and to people in a common-law relationship of two years or more.
When their relationship ends, spouses are presumed to keep property they brought into the relationship and to share in property they acquired during their relationship.
