POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THE DIVORCE ACT.
Bill C-223, a private member’s bill that would amend the Divorce Act, has passed second reading in the House of Commons and been referred to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
While not yet law, its advancement is notable, as private members’ bills do not often reach this stage. If enacted, Bill C-223 would introduce a series of changes that could reshape how courts assess parenting disputes, with a more structured focus on family violence, coercive control, and children’s voices.
