Explanation:
No es un abogado, y no participa en litigios en representación de ninguna de las partes. Se asemeja a un asistente social

WHAT DOES THE FAMILY ADVOCATE DO?

The Family Advocate assists the parties to reach an agreement on disputed issues, namely custody, access and guardianship. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement, the Family Advocate evaluates the parties’ circumstances in light of the best interests of the child and makes a recommendation to the Court with regard to custody, access or guardianship.

The Family Advocate cannot become involved in any matter that has already been finalized by the Court.

The Family Advocate cannot be subpoenaed to Court as a witness to give evidence on behalf of any party even if his/ her recommendation is in favour of that party.

The recommendation of the Family Advocate is intended to assist the Court in adjudicating a matter and arriving at a particular order. The recommendation itself is not enforceable unless incorporated in a Court Order.

The Family Advocate is a neutral institution and cannot act as the legal representative for either litigant, in a matter.

shoes like that of the families receiving services.
