Can I get protection from a stalker who is not a partner or family member? Yes. Criminal harassment and a general peace bond do not require the person to be your partner or relative. The criminal-harassment test changed on 18 July 2026, so older summaries can mislead. A peace bond is preventive and has its own requirements. Civil protection depends on provincial law: Manitoba and Quebec have relevant non-family routes, while an ordinary civil injunction needs a proper legal basis and evidence. Seek emergency help if danger is immediate. https://www.youtube.com/embed/L10x9OQ54tc 257 2026-09-09 yes https://ca.legal-hotline.com/videos/charged-breach-peace-bond-release-restraining-order-canada 2026-09-09 monthly 0.7 https://ca.legal-hotline.com/assets/video-thumbnails/JbdZVNJmfNQ.png Charged with breaching a peace bond, release condition or restraining order? Keep complying with every effective order, preserve the papers and messages, and contact a criminal lawyer or duty counsel promptly. A breach allegation can lead to arrest, a new charge and reconsideration of release before trial. It is not an automatic conviction. The offence, required proof and possible penalty depend on the order and province. Another person’s invitation does not itself change your conditions. Get advice on the charge, your bail plan and any proper application to change the terms. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JbdZVNJmfNQ 255 2026-09-09 yes https://ca.legal-hotline.com/videos/urgent-criminal-lawyer-duty-counsel-legal-aid-alberta 2026-09-09 monthly 0.7 https://ca.legal-hotline.com/assets/video-thumbnails/5orWD3c3S7I.png Court soon in Alberta, and you cannot afford a criminal lawyer? Contact Legal Aid Alberta about duty counsel immediately and keep your required court appearance. Brief criminal duty counsel assistance is free regardless of income, but it does not provide ongoing trial representation. A legal aid certificate has separate eligibility requirements and usually involves repayment. If legal aid is refused and you cannot afford a lawyer, a supported Rowbotham application may seek a pause until counsel is funded where representation is essential to a fair trial. Funding and adjournments are not automatic. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5orWD3c3S7I 247 2026-09-09 yes https://ca.legal-hotline.com/videos/urgent-criminal-lawyer-duty-counsel-legal-aid-bc 2026-09-09 monthly 0.7 https://ca.legal-hotline.com/assets/video-thumbnails/LtWH3ZqA5qc.png Court soon in BC, and you cannot afford a criminal lawyer? Contact your courthouse about criminal duty counsel now, and apply to Legal Aid BC if you need a lawyer for the case. Criminal duty counsel has no financial eligibility test, but offers limited assistance. Ongoing representation has separate coverage and financial requirements. Keep your required court appearances. If legal aid is refused and you cannot afford counsel, a supported Rowbotham application may seek a pause until counsel is funded where representation is essential to a fair trial. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LtWH3ZqA5qc 242 2026-09-09 yes https://ca.legal-hotline.com/videos/urgent-criminal-lawyer-duty-counsel-legal-aid-ontario 2026-09-09 monthly 0.7 https://ca.legal-hotline.com/assets/video-thumbnails/4z9MQJDezPM.png Court soon in Ontario, and you cannot afford a criminal lawyer? Contact the duty counsel office serving your Ontario courthouse immediately and apply to Legal Aid Ontario for ongoing representation if needed. Attend as required unless the court changes the arrangement. Duty counsel, a legal aid certificate and advice after arrest are different services. If legal aid is refused and you cannot afford counsel, a Rowbotham application may be available where a lawyer is essential to a fair trial. It requires evidence and a court decision; it is not automatic. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4z9MQJDezPM 254 2026-09-09 yes https://ca.legal-hotline.com/videos/urgent-criminal-lawyer-duty-counsel-legal-aid-quebec 2026-09-09 monthly 0.7 https://ca.legal-hotline.com/assets/video-thumbnails/GiQGhFP4QXc.png Court soon in Quebec, and you cannot afford a criminal lawyer? Contact your local legal aid office immediately, explain the court date and keep your required appearance. Ask about courthouse assistance and a lawyer for the case. Quebec offers free and contributory legal aid, subject to eligibility and coverage. Free arrest advice is a separate service. If legal aid cannot meet your needs and necessary representation is unaffordable, an evidence-supported Rowbotham application may protect your right to a fair trial. An adjournment or funded lawyer is not automatic. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GiQGhFP4QXc 251 2026-09-09 yes https://ca.legal-hotline.com/videos/family-violence-parenting-time-decisions-canada 2026-09-09 monthly 0.7 https://ca.legal-hotline.com/assets/video-thumbnails/qbgSMUAct_w.png How does family violence affect parenting arrangements in Canada? Yes. Under the Divorce Act, family violence must be considered when deciding parenting time and decision-making responsibility, with the child’s safety, security and well-being given primary consideration. Violence can include coercive control, psychological or financial abuse, and a child’s exposure to abuse of another family member. The court assesses the evidence, parenting capacity and risks; there is no automatic equal-time rule. Measures can include supervised time or transfers, communication restrictions and different decision-making arrangements. Provincial law also matters; Ontario and British Columbia have their own statutory rules. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qbgSMUAct_w 238 2026-09-09 yes https://ca.legal-hotline.com/videos/denied-time-child-no-parenting-order-canada 2026-09-09 monthly 0.7 https://ca.legal-hotline.com/assets/video-thumbnails/mLqaOOnvbzc.png My ex will not let me see my child, and there is no court order. What can I do? Get family-law advice promptly, keep a factual record of missed time and ask for a clear temporary arrangement through a safe, lawful channel. Your existing rights depend on parentage, guardianship, agreements and provincial law. If agreement is unsuitable or unsuccessful, apply in the appropriate court for parenting relief, including an interim order where needed. Safety concerns may require urgent steps. There is no automatic equal-time entitlement, and no court order does not mean that taking or hiding the child is legally safe. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mLqaOOnvbzc 251 2026-09-09 yes
