The ''[http://canlii.ca/t/7vbw Divorce Act]'' is a federal law that you can find, along with other federal laws, on the website of the [http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/D-3.4/page-1.html federal Department of Justice], or on [http://canlii.ca/t/7vbw CanLII], a free website for searching Canadian court decisions and legislation. The ''Divorce Act'' only applies to ''married spouses'', people who are or were married to each other by a marriage commissioner or a religious official licensed to perform marriages. If you are not legally married, the ''Family Law Act'' is the only game in town. While someone who isn't a married spouse can use the ''Divorce Act'' to apply for an order relating to the parenting of children or getting time with children, that person must get the court's permission first and the spouses must have already started a court proceeding.
