Family Justice Services Division

FJS emphasizes the best interest of children and promotes dispute resolution outside the Court process. Dispute resolution occurs when parties talk to a neutral third person to explore ways to resolve their family law matters.

FJS provides the following services:

  • Parent Information Sessions on family law and parenting after separation
  • Dispute resolution in cases of custody, access, and child support
  • Counselling services may be available for children and their families as determined by FJS
  • Recalculation of Child Support

FJS does NOT provide the following:

  • Assistance with division of property
  • Legal advice. It is recommended that parties obtain independent legal advice
  • Divorce applications

There are no fees for any FJS services.
