Services

Family Justice Centres and Justice Access Centres operate across the province, with staff available to assist you with issues related to separation or divorce, including: 

• Parenting arrangements
• Guardianship
• Child and spousal support
• Contact with a child
• Property division respecting a companion animal

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:

• Your legal and related issues (including referrals for legal advice)
• Dispute resolution and mediation options (including court forms and processes)
• Referrals to community resources and agencies

Justice Access Centres also provide:

• Staffed self-help resource rooms and information services
• Public computer terminals and a printer for legal documents

Please see the Justice Access Centres brochure for more information.

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.

Early Resolution Registry services

Justice Access Centres also provide services that are part of the Provincial Court process (under the Provincial Court Family Rules). The Surrey Provincial Family Court registry is an Early Resolution Registry with specific requirements for most parties to family law matters (including a needs assessment with a Family Justice Counsellor).

See the Early Resolution Process for more information and for the list of court locations with these requirements.
