Frequently asked questions
Can I get access to my grandchild?
My son let his wife have full custody, and my granddaughter's mother has been very difficult to deal with. She got the order through Provincial Court.
See the useful guide for relatives called The Child's Right to Love (PDF) on the People's Law School website, which discusses options for relatives who want to maintain a relationship with a child. These options include family court counsellors, mediation, conciliation, and going to court.
Some services that might help you are Provincial family duty counsel, LawLINE, or the Lawyer Referral Service. Or see the other services listed in Who can help?
