This guide cannot be used in the Moncton or Saint John judicial districts. These judicial districts include the counties of Albert, Westmorland, Kent, Charlotte, Kings, and Saint John. Please contact us for more information. 

This guide is to help people who must make their own applications for custody, access and support. It is also for people who want to change a custody, access or support order or enforce a custody or access order. This guide is not for people who can reach an agreement or who can get a lawyer. You should explore all the alternatives before deciding to make an application for custody or access without a lawyer. You may be able to find a legal advice clinic or advocacy group in your community that can help you use this guide. You may also find it helpful to invest in legal advice if a complication arises.
