About this service

First Choice is a brief, confidential evaluation service. It provides an alternative way to address child custody and access disputes other than through the more formal court-ordered assessment. The service is designed to help separating parents resolve parenting issues in a more timely manner and provide recommendations for child-focused planning.

Who can use First Choice?

Most often, parents participate in First Choice, but it is also available to others who have child custody and access issues (e.g. other family members such as grandparents). Family lawyers involved are encouraged to attend the sessions.

How do I access First Choice?

Only the Family Court judge can refer parents or other family members to First Choice. Lawyers and parents sign an agreement to keep the process confidential from the court proceeding. You will be contacted by a member of the First Choice team within two weeks of receiving the court referral.

Who can use it?

Family members with child custody disputes
