Divorce is the legal process to formally end a marriage. The Divorce Act is the law that governs all divorces in Nova Scotia.
When a couple separates they can enter into an agreement usually called a ‘separation agreement’ to live apart on certain terms and conditions.
Custody and Access are terms which refer to parenting arrangements which are made for children when their parents no longer live together.
Child support is money paid by one parent to the other parent for the care of their children. The Federal Child Support Guidelines provide rules for calculating the amount of child support.
Spousal support is money paid by the spouse to the other to balance the financial impact of divorce or separation. This type of support is referred to as ‘alimony’ in other countries.
Couples can enter into cohabitation or pre-nuptial agreements to set out the terms of a future breakdown of the relationship.
