Question: What is Ontario’s Paralegal Family Law Service Provider (FLSP) program, and how can it help me with separation, parenting, or support issues?

Answer: Ontario’s FLSP program allows eligible paralegals to provide an expanded range of family law services, which can improve access to justice by offering more affordable, practical help with documents, guidance, and court navigation for certain family matters in Ontario through Alfred Legal Services’s Affordable Legal Help service.  To see if your situation fits, confirm the paralegal’s FLSP authorization and ask what family law tasks they can handle for your specific separation, parenting, or support needs.
