What you are reading in either the online wikibook, or the print version of the wikibook in PDF. We produced this as a wikibook (and also in print) so that free family law information can reach more people. Family law issues touch the lives of a lot of British Columbians, and when you're dealing with these issues, you need all the help and support you can get. | |||
The clean page layout of the wikibook provides a familiar user experience, and the search functionality enables fulltext searching over the entire wikibook and others on Clicklaw Wikibooks. The wiki platform's ''book creator'' function allows libraries and individual readers to print as little or as much of the wikibook as they want, in convenient, user-friendly PDF or book formats that expand the reach of this resource to benefit British Columbians online and off. | Clicklaw Wikibooks has teamed up with Vancouver lawyer [[JP Boyd|John-Paul Boyd]] to turn his popular family law website, www.bcfamilylawresource.com, into this new Clicklaw Wikibook title, ''[[JP Boyd on Family Law]]''. The migration of John-Paul's website into this new format preserves the accessibility, scope and tone of the original, which provided free family law information to more than 27,000 British Columbians a month and had been published for more than a decade. | ||
As a wikibook, ''[[JP Boyd on Family Law]]'' continues John-Paul's commitment to explaining the legal system and providing free, plain language information on family law and divorce law, court processes and other family law dispute resolution mechanisms, while harnessing the versatility and strength of [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki], the same open-source wiki platform that powers Wikipedia. | |||
