Divorce and family
law in Canada. A brief, useful guide to law, procedure and standards
of proof in all common family law matters, with links to more detailed resources.
There are links to many other countries' divorce laws at http://www.international-divorce.com
For table-style overview of states' divorce laws on particular subjects,
see the ABA Family Law Quarterly's tables on divorce
grounds and residency requirements and on other
family law issues.
Bear in mind that the tables' accuracy is somewhat restricted by their format
and choice of categories.
The information on this web site comes from the ABA tables, the Martindale-Hubbell
Digest of State Laws, and, in some cases, state or national statutes. Information
has been checked against state statutes except where otherwise noted.
