Unmarried living together – very common these days!

There’s a new Act coming into force on January 1, 2020 – the Family Property Act – replacing the current Matrimonial Property Act.  The biggest change is that this legislation now gives unmarried separating couples in Alberta the right to automatically divide their assets and debts.  This is huge – until now, these separated couples had to prove that there should be a division of assets … [Read more...] about Changes are Coming for Unmarried Separating Couples in Alberta – Jan 1, 2020
