Legal Aid Ontario (LAO) has launched a free online program that will help Ontarians deal with some of the problems that arise when a relationship breaks down.
The Family Law Information Program, (FLIP) available on LAO’s website, describes the practical and legal issues that former spouses might face. It uses both audio and text, in easy-to-understand language, to guide Ontarians through legal definitions, information on legal representation, dispute resolution, and the family court process. Given the often emotionally charged nature of family law disputes, the program also includes sections on the effects of relationship breakdowns, and information on parenting after separation.
FLIP provides legal and practical information such as:
- child custody
- support payments
- property settlements
- shared parenting
FLIP uses both audio and text in simple, clear language to guide Ontarians through:
- legal definitions
- information on legal representation
- dispute resolution
- the family court process
- and more.
