What is the Family Law Information Centre (FLIC)?
FLIC is a legal resource for separating or divorcing couples and families in transition.
The Family Law Information Centre (FLIC) is an office of the Court Services Branch of the Yukon Department of Justice that provides information on family law issues and court procedures. Services provided by FLIC are free to the public. Anyone who needs information about Yukon family law matters can use the centre, but it is important to understand and remember that FLIC staff members do not take the place of a lawyer. You are responsible for your own case.
FLIC is staffed by neutral people who provide legal information and educational materials as a public service. Your communications with the staff are confidential, but staff members are available to help both parties.
