Services provided by FLIC are free to the public. Anyone who needs information about Yukon family law matters can use the centre. It's important to understand and remember that FLIC staff members do not take the place of a lawyer.

As a public service, FLIC staff are neutral people who provide:

Your communications with the staff are confidential. But, staff are available to help both parties.

What can FLIC do for you?

FLIC staff can:

  • offer some help with completing court forms;
  • provide computers for public use to:
    • research family law matters; and
    • access and prepare court forms;
  • notarize your court forms; and
  • provide referrals to other organizations and agencies.
