Family Law Pathways Tool Talk Webinar: Unpacking the Parenting Order Program (POP)
Event description
The Parenting Orders Program (POP) aims to help separated families who are experiencing difficulty with their co-parenting relationship and maintaining arrangements for their children. Program staff work with parents and sometimes with the children. The program is particularly useful for parents who are involved in Family Court proceedings, and these parents may be court-ordered to attend, however all separated families can access this program.
Some parents will be referred to the program by their lawyer, a court official, Legal Aid, or another community or government agency. Others will be ordered to participate by the Family Court. Some parents participate voluntarily.
