Kelowna Family Justice Centre

Provides services to British Columbians experiencing separation or divorce. Services include legal information, short-term counselling, mediation, and referrals to community services. Family Justice Centres have Family Justice Counsellors (accredited family mediators) on staff who can provide dispute resolution services to help families resolve disagreements about parenting arrangements, contact with a child, guardianship, and support issues, without going to court. Service is free and confidential.

The Kelowna Family Justice Centre can be contacted directly to schedule a family needs assessment and complete a parenting education program in order to fulfill the Family Justice Registry requirement of the Kelowna Provincial Court for all family law matters filed there.
