Question & Answer
Can I have my family law trial in French?If you speak French, you have the right to bilingual proceedings if you ask for one. In a bilingual proceeding, you will get:
- a judge who speaks French and English, and
- An interpretation of anything said in court in English or French into the other language, if you or your legal representative only speaks the other language
You have the right to bilingual proceedings in all hearings in your family law case, like motions, pre-trials, and conferences.
