Economic Rights Within the Family Project
With funding from The Law Foundation of Ontario, NAWL has developed A Women's Guide to Money, Relationships and the Law in Ontario. This online tool responds to the need of young women to know more about their economic rights when entering and leaving common law relationships or marriages and the difference between the two. The guide includes information about the different legal definitions of spouse in Ontario, spousal and child support, economic abuse, the division of property, and has tools to help women write their own cohabitation or separation agreements.
