Family Law Information Centres assist in meeting the individual needs of clients, particularly clients who are not represented by a lawyer and are entering the court system for the first time.

Family Law Information Centres have been established in most courts that deal with family law matters.

Please contact your local court for details of available services. See the listing of FLIC offices throughout Ontario.
