on September 15th, in some places and will be in effect as at November 15th,
1999, in ohter places. These rules will govern family law matters in all Superior
Court of Justice Family Law locations and in all locations of the Ontario Court
of Justice, the former Ontario Court (Provincial Division).

LEGISLATION
The legislation collected below has been gathered from a variety
of sources on the Internet. Not every province has its laws available in electronic
format and it would be appreciated it if anyone would let me know where I
can get access to those not already listed below.
The
Access
to Justice Network (ACJNet) is a wonderfully full site with an enormous
array of useful information. I strongly recomend that you take some time to
visit the ACJNet site to enjoy their work. Amongst their offerings is what
I think is the most complete single collection of Canadian
legislative
listings on the Internet. Their listing is as comprehensive as they
can make it but it only has what the governments have put up and is not always
right up to date.
As a result, some of the legislation listed below comes from
other sources than ACJNet. I have made a note whenever the site referred to
isn't ACJNet.
