Family advice lawyers
If you are a parent with a low income and experiencing separation or divorce, you may be eligible for up to three hours of free legal advice from a family advice lawyer.
You may be able to get help even if you do not qualify for a legal aid lawyer. See Do I qualify? Family advice lawyers can provide advice about:
- custody,
- access,
- guardianship,
- child support,
- property division (limited advice),
- tentative settlement agreements, and
- court procedures.
These lawyers are available at the Vancouver Justice Access Centre, the Nanaimo Justice Access Centre, the Family Justice Centre in Kelowna, the New Westminster Family Justice Centre, and at courthouses in Kamloops, Prince George, Surrey, and Victoria. Services are available by referral from a family justice counsellor or a child support officer.
