Basics of Family Law
Separation and Divorce
What if I fear for my safety, or the safety of my children, during our separation or divorce?
If you fear for your safety or the safety of your children, call the police at 911 or VictimLINK at 1-800-563-0808 (TTY: 604-875-0885). The line is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. VictimLINK provides confidential service in all the major languages spoken in British Columbia.
You might also want to talk to a Victim Services worker in your community or to a Family Justice Counsellor for information about getting a protection order, or to a lawyer for legal advice. Please also see our web site section on Keeping Your Family Safe for more information.
