Aboriginal issues in Family Law
Ontario Women’s Legal Centre
The Center offers free legal information and legal summary advice about family law, immigration and refugee law, housing law, and criminal law in cases of sexual assault in French to Francophone women in Ontario who are experiencing family violence. There is no financial eligibility test.
You must first call or email the legal support worker who will ask you for some information to understand your legal issue. A lawyer will call you back, usually within 4-5 days. The lawyer will spend up to 4 hours to answer your questions, give you advice, and review documents and forms.
The Centre also offers what’s called limited scope retainer or unbundled services. This means you pay a lawyer to help you with part of your case.
