Survey seeking insights into improving Albertans’ access to family justice

Nov 23, 2024 | 7:00 AM

The Government of Alberta is looking into ways of improving access to justice and wants to hear from you on how to make that happen.

They have launched an online survey where Albertans can share their views and experiences on how family justice services could better support their needs.

Justice Minister Mickey Amery says accessing family justice services can be challenging during difficult times, which is why it is important to ensure that the process is streamlined and consistent.

“Alberta’s government is committed to improving the family justice system, and we want to hear directly from Albertans about what’s working and what needs improvement. If you’ve used family justice services, we encourage you to share your feedback by taking this survey,” says Amery.

Family justice services include things like mediation and family court counsellors as a first step to seeking a divorce or resolving spousal support, parenting or child support issues.
