Law Society of Upper Canada Launches Family Law Site for General Public

The Law Society of Upper Canada has launched Your Law: Family Law in Ontario, a site that contains free legal information about child custody and access:

"Are you considering separating or divorcing from your spouse? Are you concerned about what will happen to your children after the break up? When two people have a child, each parent has an equal right and equal responsibility to raise the child. This is true whether the parents are married or not."

"When parents don’t live together, they are faced with important decisions about the care of their children. They must decide where the child will live, how much time the child will spend with each parent and how important decisions relating to the child will be made. Each parent’s financial support of the child will also have to be determined."

"Your Law: Family Law in Ontario provides you with information and access to resources on the emotional, financial, legal and social considerations relating to child custody, access and child support and will help you make the best decisions for you and your family."

 The site provides many useful links from organizations across Ontario, such as Community Legal Education Ontario, Department of Justice, Legal Aid Ontario and the Ministry of the Attorney General.
