→Barriers to justice
* [[Resolving Family Law Problems out of Court]], includes sections about non-court processes and the legal professionals who provide them, such as [[Collaborative Negotiation]], [[Family Law Mediation]], [[Family Law Arbitration]], and [[Parenting Coordination]], and
* [[Family Law Agreements]], provides information on how people can settle their own ongoing or future disputes with minimal involvement by lawyers or courts.
There are other barriers to family justice as well, of course. The law is complex, often hard to find and often hard to understand. The rules that govern the court system, and the forms the rules require, are also complicated. (These are things ''JP Boyd on Family Law'' tries to address as well.) If you decide that you'd like to hire a lawyer to help guide you through the law and the rules, lawyers' fees can be very expensive and are sometimes out of reach. Even if you can afford a lawyer, there may not be a lawyer near you who specializes in family law.
