+=== Family Homes on Reserve and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act (FHRMIRA or Bill S-2) ===

+* Spouses or common-law partners are entitled to a fair division of matrimonial real property, interests, or rights.
+* Each spouse has an equal right to occupancy of the family home during the conjugal relationship, no matter whose name is on it and no matter if FN or Band member.
+* Spousal consent required for the sale or disposal of family home.
+* An application for division must be made within three years after the day on which the parties ceased to cohabit.
+* Courts can order the transfer of or enforce agreements about matrimonial real property between spouses or common-law partners.
+* Courts can order that a spouse or common-law partner be excluded from the family home on an urgent basis through Exclusive Occupation Orders.
