===Setting aside agreements about property and debt under the ''Family Relations Act''===
Agreements between married spouses about property and debt that were made before March 18, 2013, which is when the ''Family Law Act'' came into force, have to be changed under the ''[http://www.bclaws.ca/civix/document/id/consol21/consol21/00_96128_01 Family Relations Act]'', which was the law in effect before the ''Family Law Act''. For agreements between unmarried spouses Section 252(2)(a) of the ''Family Law Act'' says that proceedings to enforce, set aside or replace an agreement about property division that was made before March 18, 2013,, the Supreme Court of British Columbia has found in B.L.S. v. D.J.S that the ''Family Law Act'' applies subject to any time limitations came into force must be started under s. 198 of the act''Family Relations Act''.
Given the additional issues involved in changing agreements made before March 18, 2013, getting advice from a lawyer is highly recommended.
