Family Justice Centres operate across the province with staff available to assist you with issues related to separation or divorce, including:
All services are provided free of charge to parents and other family members. Learn more about Family Justice Centre services or see the Family Justice Centres brochure for more information.
Staff can help you assess what you need and provide information about:
All Centres have Family Justice Counsellors (accredited mediators) who can provide a full range of services virtually through telephone and video conferencing, so services are available even if there is no Family Justice Centre or Justice Access Centre in your community. Virtual services are also available for families who are separated by distance.
Justice Access Centres also provide services that are part of the Provincial Court process (under the Provincial Court Family Rules). The Vancouver Provincial Family Court registry is a Family Justice Registry where most parties to family law matters must complete a needs assessment with a Family Justice Counsellor and a Parenting After Separation course before their first court date (a Family Management Conference) will be scheduled.
Please see the Family Justice Registries brochure for more information and for the list of court locations with these requirements.
Call the Vancouver Family Justice Centre to access services virtually or in person.
