SUMMARY

This enactment amends the Divorce Act to require spouses to attend marriage counselling before a divorce is granted.

This requirement does not apply where the grounds are physical or mental cruelty, where the court agrees that counselling is inappropriate or would serve no purpose, or where one party cannot be brought to counselling.
