Information is a starting point. Help is available.

Before you contact a lawyer
Organize your basic question, dates, official notices, existing agreements or orders, and any immediate deadlines. A professional can then explain which information is relevant to your particular circumstances.
Legal information, not legal advice. This site is independent and is not operated by the Government of Nova Scotia or a court. Rules, forms and deadlines may change. Use the official sources and obtain advice about your own situation when necessary.
