→The law about parenting after separation
There's a lot more involved in making decisions about parenting after separation than what you'll find in the ''Divorce Act'' and the ''Family Law Act''. The romantic relationship between the parents may be over, but they'll always be parents, no matter the nature of their relationship with each other. Separated parents have a duty to their children to try to overcome their differences and always put their children first, no matter how hard it is for them to cope with the emotional and legal issues that arise from the breakdown of their relationship with each other.

For married spouses, the law about parenting after separation is governed by the federal ''Divorce Act'' and the provincial ''Family Law Act''. Although married spouses can ask for orders under both the ''Divorce Act'' and the ''Family Law Act'', it's usually best to just pick one act or the other to deal with issues about parenting after separation.
