Divorce and separation, parenting, child and spousal support, and dividing property. Divorce follows the federal Divorce Act; property division comes from Saskatchewan's Family Property Act, which also covers couples who have lived together as spouses for at least two years.
Divorce is federal law, so the rule is the same across Canada: the only ground is marriage breakdown, usually shown by living apart for one year or more. You or your spouse must have lived in Saskatchewan for a full year before applying.
Under The Family Property Act the general rule is that family property, including the family home, is divided equally between the spouses. A court can order a different split where an equal one would be unfair.
Yes, if they lived together as spouses continuously for at least two years. The Family Property Act then applies to them as it does to married couples — but they must apply within 24 months after they stop living together.
For Regina, family cases — including divorce and the division of family property — go to the Family Law Division of the Court of King's Bench, 2425 Victoria Avenue.
To practise law in Saskatchewan a lawyer must be a member of the Law Society of Saskatchewan. You can look up any lawyer in the Law Society's public directory, which shows where they practise and has a discipline column; the Law Society also publishes its discipline decisions. Each lawyer on these pages was checked in that directory before being listed, but people move firms, so check again before you hire. Concerns about a lawyer go to the Law Society.
