Paralegals in Ontario can now help with certain family law matters.

A new licence called the Family Legal Services Provider allows trained paralegals to assist with low conflict, procedural family law issues.

They can help with:
• Uncontested or joint divorces
• Child support paperwork and recalculations
• Separation, cohabitation, and marriage agreements where terms are already agreed
• Family court forms and filing steps

They cannot handle contested matters or appear in court.

This is a meaningful change in how family law services are delivered in Ontario.
