Family Law Information Project for Abused Women

On December 5, 2008 LISNS launched “Safely on Your Way: Child Custody and Access Information for Women Leaving Abusive Relationships and Their Service Providers”.  Safely on Your Way is an essential resource for women with children who are leaving an abusive relationship. It provides legal information for women in the post-separation stage who are trying to deal with custody and access issues, focusing on information women need to keep themselves and their children safe.

The publication was developed in partnership with the Transition House Association of Nova Scotia, the Women’s Innovative Justice Initiative and the Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women, with funding from the Law Foundation of Nova Scotia, the IWK Health Foundation, Justice Canada, Status of Women Canada, NS Advisory Council on the Status of Women, and the NS Department of Justice.
