For example, a parent in British Columbia, seeking legal help in regard to altering her child custody arrangement, found that legal aid would not provide assistance unless she could prove that the potential for serious harm existed for the children. Had this woman been living in Manitoba, however, legal aid would have immediately accepted her case, since the province's family law coverage includes alterations and enforcement of existing orders in child custody cases.
Si cette femme avait habité au Manitoba, toutefois, l'aide juridique aurait immédiatement accepté son cas étant donné que le droit de la famille provincial prévoit la modification et l'application des ordonnances existantes dans les cas de garde d'enfants.
