With the help of the United Way of PEI, we will be hosting three Fall sessions of our free custody and access course called The Best Interests of the Child
in Custody and Access.

You will learn:
• What you can expect if you have to go to court to resolve a custody and access dispute.

• How the ‘best interests of the children’ can be met.

• Ways to resolve your dispute outside of court.

These sessions are delivered by a volunteer lawyer.

Professionals who work with clients in this area are also welcome.
