OBA Family Law PROGRAM | 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM (ET)

Recent amendments to the Divorce Act and the Children’s Law Reform Act have brought the discussion around family violence to the fore and have provided a long-needed focus in family law on this widespread problem within Canada’s families.

It is critical that every family lawyer has a comprehensive understanding of what family violence is, how to recognize and respond to it, the legal impacts of family violence, and how best to support your clients.

Part 4 will cover:
     •  How Family Violence Impacts Parenting Arrangements
     •  Restraining Orders and Exclusive Possession of the Matrimonial home
     •  Critical Considerations for Dealing with Parallel Criminal Proceedings
     •  How to Handle Immigration Concerns
     •  Financial Fallout from Family Violence
