There
aren't as many sites on the Internet devoted to Canadian family law matters
as we would like to see and some of the ones available are somewhat basic. But
many of the sites available are terrific! The listing below is divided between
those sites for lawyers and firms who have added themselves to the Family
Law Lawyers Directory here at the FLC and those who have not. I'm sure there
are sites which should be included in each category about which I'm not aware
or which have been added since this listing was prepared. If so, please send
me the site address and I'll get it up.

One of the most notable things about the Internet is how often sites you really like disappear. Everyone of the sites referred to above was operational and accessible at the time it was reviewed - but there is no guarantee it's still there. If you tried to click onto a site and had difficulty, please send us an e-mail so we can look into it. Thanks, Joel Miller
