Introducing Amicably Signal: Canadian Family Law and Tax Updates

The rules behind a family law file change on many schedules and in many places: courts issue new forms, legislatures amend Acts and regulations, appellate courts decide spousal support appeals, governments publish new tax figures or budget measures. Each one comes from a different publisher, and each can change the advice, numbers, or paperwork on a file.

Amicably Signal is a public list of those changes, for legal and financial professionals working in Canadian family law. The entries come out of the monitoring we already do to keep Amicably's calculations and court forms current.

What it covers

Amicably Signal reports what courts, legislatures, and government publishers have done that bears on support and property division:

• New court forms
• Acts and regulations
• Appellate decisions
• Tax figures and budget measures

What an entry gives you

Each entry is a short summary, with the official date, the jurisdiction, and a link to the official copy, so you can go straight to the source. You can filter the list by jurisdiction, including Canada for federal changes, and by kind of change. Where it is relevant, an entry also notes what Amicably does today.

What it is not

Amicably Signal is a list of what we have published, not a complete record of Canadian family law. Some provinces and territories, and some kinds of change, have few or no entries so far. Use it as one more current-awareness source alongside the ones you already read, not as a substitute for your own research or for noting up. The publishers we watch are listed on the page, along with the date the sources were most recently checked.

Nothing on Amicably Signal is legal advice.
