==Choosing the law and the court==
Both the federal ''[[Divorce Act]]'' and the provincial ''[[Family Law Act]]'' deal with family law issues. As well, both the Provincial Court and the Supreme Court have the authority to hear proceedings dealing with family law issues. Deciding which legislation you are going to make your claim under is called making the ''choice of law''. Deciding in which court you are going to bring your claim is called making the ''choice of forum''.
