Status of Children, Final Report 20
The law distinguishes between persons born i n wedlock and persons born out of wedlock. The distinctions are to the disadvantage of the person born out of wedlock, and we see no reason why the law should not do what it can to remove t h a t disadvantage. To that end, we will propose that the legal distinction between legitimate children and illegitimate children be done away with.

Illegitimacy, Research Paper 10
At the time of publication, there was legal differentiation within Alberta based on a child’s “legitimacy” or lack thereof; in other words, whether the child was “the offspring of [a] stable union” or not. This paper assesses the law relating to the determination of “legitimacy” (at the time of publication), the effect legitimacy had on one’s legal standing in various situations, and possible approaches to reform with an eye to reducing the distinction between “legitimate” […]

Matrimonial Property, Final Report 18
This is an extensive and large report regarding the feasibility of legislation that, upon dissolution of marriage, would give each spouse the right to an equal share in the assets accumulated during the marriage other than by gift or inheritance from outside sources. Three major proposals for change are judicial discretion, community of property, and deferred sharing. This report analyzes the committee’s majority and minority views on these proposals. Regarding judicial discretion, the law could […]
