While researching and educating myself on similar cases, should I be only looking for cases in the same province as me, or will the courts accept cases outside my province?

Rather than looking up case law to "find fault" or "litigation strategy" for a future court appearance a good and solid Offer to Settle made in accordance with Rule 18 of the Family Law Rules puts you in a better position.
Good Luck!

You should really always assume you are going to trial. That will help you control your reactions to phone calls and emails. It will help you to keep records. It will help you to shape offers.
Obviously we should all want to settle out of court, but that doesn't mean making ourselves vulnerable or not being prepared.
Always assume you are going to trial, always have your evidence prepared, or if you need things like attendance records from daycare or whatever to back up your affidavits, then get them. In the meantime have a reasonable offer on the table.
Never assume that your ex will suddenly become reasonable if they never were before. Even if they were before, don't assume they will stay that way. By all means be cooperative and reasonable, but don't just blindly trust your ex or their lawyer.

yes you may Janice. Naturally it is best to keep things as close to home as you can but as long as a decision is relative to the part of the law you are focusing on you certainly can use it.
When it comes to matrimonial property act be mindful that some provinces differ.
