Bill S-2 establishes a federal framework allowing First Nations to enact laws governing family homes and matrimonial property division on reserves, with provisional federal rules applying until First Nations pass their own laws.
Bill S-2, which received Royal Assent on June 19, 2013, addresses family law matters on First Nation reserves that are not covered by provincial laws or the Indian Act. The bill allows First Nations to create their own laws about family homes (called "family homes on reserves") and how spouses and common-law partners divide property and interests when their relationship breaks down or when one partner dies. The bill has two main components: (1) First Nations can propose and adopt their own laws through a community approval process where members vote; and (2) Until a First Nation passes its own laws, a set of provisional federal rules automatically apply. These federal rules cover occupancy rights during a marriage or common-law relationship, what happens after death, protection from family violence, and how to divide the value of property interests. Key features include: - Each spouse or common-law partner may occupy the family home during their relationship - Courts can issue protection orders (up to 90 days) in cases of family violence - Courts can grant exclusive occupation of a family home to one person - When a relationship breaks down, spouses or common-law partners can claim half the value of family home interests and certain other property (with some exceptions based on whether they are First Nation members) - A surviving spouse or common-law partner has similar property rights when their partner dies - The bill binds the Crown and applies across Canada - Enforcement of court orders on reserves is permitted despite section 89(1) of the Indian Act The bill recognizes First Nation self-government and includes a three-year transition period for First Nations under the First Nations Land Management Act.
- Empowers First Nations to enact their own laws governing family homes on reserves and division of matrimonial property interests when conjugal relationships break down or a spouse or common-law partner dies
- Establishes a community approval process for First Nation laws, requiring notice to members and a majority vote with at least 25% participation (though this threshold can be increased)

- Permits courts to order transfer of property interests to a First Nation member spouse or common-law partner in certain circumstances
- Allows courts to restrain improvident depletion of family homes and matrimonial interests to protect potential awards
- Permits enforcement of written agreements between spouses or common-law partners about property division
- Provides survivors of a deceased spouse or common-law partner with similar entitlements to family home value and matrimonial interests as apply to relationship breakdown
- Requires applications for survivor entitlements to be made within 10 months of death, with possible court extensions
- Prevents estate distribution until the survivor's entitlements are resolved
- Stipulates that if a survivor receives an entitlement order, they cannot also benefit from the deceased's will or certain sections of the Indian Act regarding the family home or matrimonial interests
- Applies to spouses and common-law partners only if at least one is a First Nation member or an Indian

- Courts may restrain improvident depletion of family homes and matrimonial interests to protect potential awards
- If a First Nation council will not enforce an order against a non-member, a court may vary the order to require payment into court instead
- Estate distribution is prohibited until survivor entitlements are resolved or the deadline to claim expires
- Peace officers enforcing protection orders are protected from liability for actions done in good faith in execution of their duties
- The specific commencement date for most provisions is not specified in the bill; it depends on a Governor in Council order
- The provisions defining what constitutes an 'interest or right' in structures and lands on reserves are complex and may require court interpretation in specific cases
- The bill applies only if at least one of the spouses or common-law partners is a First Nation member or an Indian; the definition of 'Indian' is not provided in the bill and depends on the Indian Act
- 'Valuation date' is defined differently for spouses versus common-law partners and depends on the earliest of several possible events; determining the correct date may require factual investigation
- The value of interests and rights is to be determined based on 'what a buyer would reasonably be expected to pay,' which is subjective and may require expert appraisal
- Courts have discretion to vary amounts owed if 'unconscionable,' but the specific factors to apply are not precisely defined; this may lead to inconsistent outcomes
- The definition of 'family violence' includes some objective acts (intentional force, bodily harm) and some subjective concepts (reasonable fear, psychological abuse); courts will need to interpret these
- The bill does not specify how First Nations should resolve conflicts between their own laws and the federal provisional rules
- It is unclear how the bill applies if property is held jointly by a couple or in the name of a third party
- The interaction between this Act and provincial family law (for parts applicable on reserves) is not entirely clear
- Enforcement of orders by First Nation councils on reserves may vary; the bill provides that if a council will not enforce, a court may modify the order to require payment into court, but practical enforcement mechanisms are not fully detailed
- The bill does not address disputes about whether someone qualifies as a 'common-law partner' or the length of cohabitation required
- For First Nations under self-government agreements, the Minister's declaration that sections 13-52 apply must be made 'on the recommendation of the parties'; it is unclear what happens if parties disagree
- The three-year transition period for First Nations under the First Nations Land Management Act means different rules may apply at different times; this could create uncertainty for people planning during the transition
Section 89(1) of the Indian Act normally prevents enforcement of judgments on reserves, but Bill S-2 allows courts to enforce orders that include provisions made under First Nation laws or decisions and agreements reached under those laws on reserves. Additionally, sections 24 and 49 of the Indian Act are modified to allow transfer of certain land interests to First Nation members by court order under this Act.

Orders made under Bill S-2 in divorce proceedings between spouses are deemed to be orders made under the Divorce Act and are subject to the appeal and modification procedures under that Act.

Sections 13-52 of Bill S-2 do not apply to First Nations under this Act if their land code is in force or they have enacted their own rules under that Act. A three-year transition period applies to such First Nations before the federal rules become mandatory.

A legislative summary is currently being prepared for this bill by the Parliamentary Information and Research Service of the Library of Parliament. Meanwhile, the following executive summary is available. On 28 September 2011, the Leader of the Government in the Senate introduced Bill S-2, An Act respecting family homes situated on First Nation reserves and matrimonial interests or rights in or to structures and lands situated on those reserves (Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act), in the Senate and it was given first reading. The bill addresses issues relating to family real property on reserves by providing that a First Nation has the power to enact laws relating to “the use, occupation and possession of family homes on its reserves and the division of the value of any interests or rights held by spouses or common-law partners in or to structures and lands on its reserves” (clause 7(1)). Where a First Nation does not have such laws in force, whether established under the bill, under the First Nations Land Management Act, or under a self-government agreement, provisional federal rules established in the bill will apply.
