This practice-oriented overview examines current topics in family law that busy general practitioners may find useful for advising their family law clients. It draws together commentaries by a number of Alberta family lawyers who have given fuller treatment to these subjects in previous LESA papers and, in particular, at the 2013 Family Law Refresher in Banff. Attachments include a schedule of references to other works, a “quick reference” to Family Justice Services, and checklists on unjust enrichment and constructive trust claims.

This paper was presented at the Law and Practice program in November 2013.
