New Brunswick (NB) family law software
Family law calculations built for New Brunswick firms
New Brunswick's Marital Property Act establishes a deferred community of property: marital property is presumptively divided equally on marriage breakdown, with marital home protections.
Bilingual note: New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province. Divo's interface is English-only; French-language support is on the roadmap.
