I've heard about new legislation taking effect in October 2005. What is the Family Law Act?

The Family Law Act came into effect on October 1, 2005. This Act replaces the Domestic Relations Act, the Parentage and Maintenance Act, the Maintenance Order Act, the family law provisions of the Provincial Court Act, and part of the Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act that deals with private guardianship. The Family Law Act also amends other legislation.
