 #Decide if the situation you are facing is one that can be safely and fairly resolved without involving lawyers and the courts. If the other <span class="noglossary">party</span> has dominated, harassed or abused you or your children, or has denied you the parenting time that you are entitled to, it may be difficult to resolve your problems fairly without going to court. It is best to speak with a lawyer, advocate or family counsellor for advice on whether your problem is one that can probably be resolved out of court.
 #To meet with a family justice counsellor, contact a [[Family Justice Centres|Family Justice Centre]] and make an appointment to speak with a counsellor. Some Family Justice Centres have specialists in child support called child support officers. You can ask your family justice counsellor if a child support officer can be involved in your case.
