Justice David Price
This week’s episode, a conversation with Ontario Superior Court Justice David Price, is a little different from our usual fare. The aim of this episode is to present some important and practical information about how to successfully navigate the legal process as a self-represented litigant in family court. Justice Price addresses how and why to craft a just and durable settlement in a family dispute, and provides a host of practical tips for family SRLs. We’d also like to hear from you – what questions do you have for Justice Price? We’ll pick some for him to answer in a follow up to this conversation in the new year. Email representingyourself@gmail.com with your questions! In Other News, the Law Society of Ontario opens the door for family services from paralegals, the Ontario government makes updates to the justice system, and the Quebec ban on face coverings is challenged and stayed.

Is it correct that the resources here are specific to the Ontario court?
Hi Mavaddat, this is correct, however the consent order is going to work as a country wide template for language on settlement.
