About

We work with families considering separation, separated caregivers, parents, grandparents or other family members seeking custody, very young parents; and families who are involved with the Ministry for Child and Family Development. 

We can assist you in setting reasonable goals and in navigating the court systems to obtain a legal solution. The Family Law Legal Advocacy Program provides free assistance to anyone with family law issues or questions. It’s important to note that services are offered by a legal advocate, not a lawyer.

Programs and services offered

We provide information, referral, advocacy, court support, and assistance with legal form completion; in the following areas, so that community members can develop a plan to move forward: 

  • Parental arrangements, children’s rights, child protection

  • Child or spousal support

  • Separation and divorce, guardianship

  • Protection orders

  • Family Maintenance Enforcement and Protection (FMEP)

Who can access these programs and services

Any adult with a family law matter based in Prince George. The Family Law Advocate must do a “Conflict of Interest” check before accepting any new clients.
