The ''Divorce Act'' talks about how the one-year period a married couple must wait in order to get divorced on the basis of separation is not interrupted if the parties live together in an attempt to reconcile for less than 90 days. Similar language is used in the ''Family Law Act'' for the purpose of determining the date when a couple stops accumulating family property. Neither of these provisions apply to the two-year time limit for bringing claims under the ''Family Law Act''.
