Dating and New Relationships

You are never too old to fall in love! However, if you are widowed or divorced and seeking new companionship, you may find yourself with many questions. The world of dating is different than it used to be. Also, unlike when you were younger and first starting out, you may now have family members and assets to think about and protect. You know that, now more than ever, you should not be blinded by love: you want to be careful and you want to be informed.

This booklet of questions and answers about Dating and New Relationships provides important information about legal issues related to new relationships. 

The topics covered in this section relate to Alberta law only. For laws in provinces other than Alberta, please see our page of Additional Resources.
