BC First Nations Justice Council — Indigenous Justice Centres
Indigenous Justice Centres offer culturally appropriate information, advice, support, and representation for Indigenous people.
You can get a lawyer to represent you for a child protection matter if:
- the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), or a delegated Aboriginal agency, has taken or has threatened to take your child or children away from you, or
- there are guardianship or custody and contact or access issues related to a child in the care of MCFD (foster care).
Contact the Legal Aid BC Call Centre to apply for services. Or find out if a Parents Legal Centre can help you.
