Because family law issues can be very broad and touch on other areas of law, such as contract law or company law, other pieces of legislation may also apply to a problem. For example, the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/8481 Name Act]'' allows a spouse to change her name following a divorce, the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/84g5 Adoption Act]'' deals with adoption, the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/8456 Land Title Act]'' deals with real property, the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/848q Partition of Property Act]'' allows a co-owner of real property to force the sale of the property, and the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/84ld Business Corporations Act]'' deals with the incorporation of companies, shareholders' loans, and other things that may be important if a spouse owns or controls a company.
