Legal Assistance

The YCAO is an independent body of the Legislative Assembly and cannot act as a legal representative or provide legal advice.

Learn more about the different legal resources available to you:

Family Mediation Services

Mediation helps people resolve disagreements while focusing on the best interests of the child. Mediators can support parents in making decisions about parenting arrangements, financial matters, and dividing property.

Family Law Information Centre (FLIC)

FLIC provides free information and educational resources to help Yukoners understand family law and navigate the justice system. Staff can explain options and processes, but they do not provide legal advice.

Yukon Public Legal Education Association (YPLEA)

YPLEA provides free legal information to help Yukoners understand and address their legal issues. Resources include information on family law, court processes, and resolving legal problems.

Yukon Legal Services Society (Legal Aid)

Legal Aid provides legal representation for people who qualify. Services may include criminal matters, family law issues such as custody, access, and maintenance, and child protection cases.

Yukon Family Lawyers

Advocate Offices Across the Country

Most jurisdictions across Canada have an independent office that represents the rights of children and youth. If your concern involves services outside the Yukon, you may wish to contact another provincial or territorial child and youth advocate office. Their contact info can be found here:
