This author begins with some basic information on bankruptcy law for the family law practitioner, referencing the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. He then canvasses these areas where bankruptcy and family law intersect:

• The effects of bankruptcy on matrimonial property division;
• The effects of bankruptcy on spousal and child support; and
• Changing priorities for common family law claims resulting from a bankruptcy.
