If an order is made under the Divorce Act, where is it enforceable?

An order made under the Divorce Act is enforceable throughout Canada. This means that once a divorce order is issued, it is recognized and can be enforced in every province and territory within the country. This nationwide enforceability is grounded in the principle that divorce laws must provide stability and consistency across jurisdictions, ensuring that individuals cannot evade the effects of a divorce decree by moving to another province.

This provision supports the notion that family law, particularly in the context of divorce, requires a unified approach to ensure that parties involved can rely on the enforcement of orders regardless of where they reside within Canada. As a result, individuals seeking to enforce the terms of a divorce order, such as child support or property division, can do so in any province or territory without needing to re-litigate the issue.

The other options do not accurately represent the enforceability of orders issued under the Divorce Act. Limiting enforceability to just one province or requiring a reciprocal agreement would undermine the effectiveness and consistency of family law across Canada.
