  • Review of grounds for divorce and child custody orders under the 1985 Divorce Act.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 79,872 divorces were granted in Canada in 1988, a 12.2% decrease from 1987.
    • The average marriage duration for divorces was 12.5 years, with the highest incidence after five years.
    • Separation for at least one year was the cited ground in nearly 90% of divorces under the 1985 law; 76% of children were awarded to the wife in custody orders.

    Conclusions:

    • The 1985 Divorce Act appears to have influenced divorce proceedings, with separation as the primary ground.
    • Child custody arrangements predominantly favored the wife, with a significant percentage of joint custody.
    • Further data collection is necessary to fully ascertain the long-term effects of the 1985 Divorce Act on Canadian divorce trends.
