Here is your daily LawFact from Wise Law for Friday April 29, 2016. Today we are talking about Family Law.
The first same-sex
marriage in Ontario occurred on January 14, 2001. Its legality, along with the
legality of many other same-sex marriages, was affirmed by the Ontario Court of Appeal on
June 10, 2003 in a case called Halpern v.
Canada.
Same-sex marriage and
divorce have been recognized throughout Canada since July 20, 2005, when the
Government of Canada passed the Civil
Marriage Act, which newly defined marriage in a gender-neutral manner.
