The Family Legal Services Provider (FLSP) authorization allows specially trained paralegals, such as Kelly Mann, to provide certain legal services in family law matters, supporting improved access to legal services for Ontarians.
Family Legal Services Providers are able to assist clients, in certain circumstances, with process navigation in family court, completing applications for joint and uncontested divorces, arguing motions to change child support based on the payor’s “line 15000/T4 slip” income and excluding special and extraordinary expenses, responding to support enforcement proceedings, filing domestic contracts, and preparing change of name applications.
We can help clients with uncontested divorces, navigate the family court process, complete court documents and represent clients in family court within the Family Law Service Provider scope.
