→Family justice counsellors
When people cannot afford the cost of a report from a psychologist, clinical counsellor or social workers, the court may order that an assessment be prepared by a family justice counsellor. Unless the parties agree to something else, the Provincial Court will almost always order that a report be prepared by a family justice counsellor when a report will be useful. The assessments of family justice counsellors are free.
Because of high demand, assessments prepared by family justice counsellors may take up to a year or more to complete.
