Certain challenging issues arise daily in family law practice and as family lawyers we need to have the answers to these "bread and butter" issues at our fingertips.

This program will address some of these issues with questions such as how does the new Supreme Court of Canada decision in Kerr v. Barranow affect how we litigate trust claims?  What do we need to know about the exceptions to the Spousal Support Guidelines?  What child support should be payable when a child is at university and living away from home?  What are the pitfalls of using DivorceMate?  What should we know about using Schedule III to calculate income under the Child Support Guidelines?  How will the new regime for dividing pensions under the Family Law Act work?
