About the Family Law Information Centre

The Family Law Information Centre (FLIC) is a service provided by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Justice to assist individuals dealing with family law matters. Located in Regina, the centre serves as a primary resource for those navigating the justice system without legal representation. It offers access to legal information, self-help kits, and guidance on court procedures, aiming to make the family law process more accessible and understandable for the public.

Services and Resources

• Self-Help Kits: Distribution of comprehensive kits containing court forms and instructions for divorce, child support, custody, and access applications.
• Legal Information Sessions: Facilitates drop-in sessions where volunteer lawyers provide general legal information and assistance (not legal advice).
• Referral Services: Connects individuals with appropriate services, including mediation, collaborative law professionals, and legal aid.
• Support Variation Project: Assists parents in updating child support orders to reflect current financial circumstances without the need for a full court hearing.

Mission and Access

FLIC focuses on empowering residents to manage their legal affairs effectively. While staff cannot provide legal advice or represent clients in court, they offer essential tools to prepare documents and understand legal rights and obligations. The centre is open to all members of the public and is particularly valuable for self-represented litigants.
