Provides services to people dealing with issues related to separation or divorce, including parenting arrangements; guardianship; child and spousal support; contact with a child; and property division respecting a companion animal (pet). All services are confidential and provided free of charge to parents and other family members. Staff can help assess needs and provide information about legal and related issues (including referrals for legal advice); dispute resolution and mediation options (including court forms and processes); and referrals to community resources and agencies. All Centres have Family Justice Counsellors (accredited mediators) who can provide a full range of services virtually through video conferencing and telephone, if required.

This centre provides services that are part of the Provincial Court process (under the Provincial Court Family Rules). The Vancouver Provincial Family Court registry is a Family Justice Registry where most parties to family law matters must complete a needs assessment with a family justice counsellor and a parenting education course before their first court date (a Family Management Conference) will be scheduled.

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