A Family Law Handbook for Pilipina Domestic Workers and Caregivers

This booklet has information on Ontario family law and how it can affect immigrant women, their partners or spouses, and their children. It also deals with issues such as family violence and immigration status. There is a section on alternate dispute resolution and a list of community resources.

Although this booklet was written for Pilipina domestic workers and caregivers, it has information that other immigrant women might find useful.
