TORONTO - No one wants to think about the law when they are in love.
But that is just what an Ontario group looking to improve the family justice system is recommending.
A group from The Law Commission of Ontario said giving people a lesson in the law before they marry may prevent marriage breakdowns.
"They need more information about what the consequences are of living with someone. What am I getting into if I get married, what are my legal obligations?" said Julie Lassonde, a research lawyer with the commission.
The group released results Thursday of its consultations with people involved in the family law process.
Julie Lassonde said the resonating theme among couples embroiled in the legal process is that many of them wished they had more information before they tied the knot.
