The Member mentioned yet another program that’s available, and that’s Parenting After Separation, which is actually a course that’s available to help individuals who maybe haven’t gone through the mediation. There are a number of these programs available to help maintain family structure when living in separate homes. The children’s lawyer is available to make sure the interests of the child are heard and taken into consideration in all three of these situations. There are limitations when that service can be used as a result of a child apprehension but, where appropriate, they have been able to engage, but it isn’t with every case and not all cases under child apprehension is there necessarily a role for a children’s lawyer. Where appropriate they are being utilized.
