Voice of the Child Report
The Voice of the Child Report is an essential tool in family law cases where a child’s views and perspective is necessary for decision-making that immediately impacts every aspect of the child’s life. At Ontario Family Solutions, we specialize in culturally competent assessments using an EDI lens, ensuring that children feel safe, comfortable, and respected when sharing their thoughts and wishes.
We conduct confidential interviews with children in an age-appropriate manner, allowing them to express their views about their family situation. Our reports are presented neutrally and objectively, helping parents, mediators, and courts make informed decisions that align with the child’s best interest and well-being.

Voice of Child Report (VOC) –
VOC reports will be charged at a rate of $250 per hour (+ HST). A set travel fee will be charged for interviews taking place at home or school. A parent can expect that the VOC process typically takes a minimum of 15-20 hours, but this is dependent on each case (e.g. the number of children in a family). If parent interviews are longer or if parents communicate often, then more time is required.
In order to commence the assessment process, a retainer up front fee of $4,000 is required. Parents usually pay through Interac e-transfer but they may also choose to pay by Bank draft, Certified cheque, major Credit cards or can use our 0% interest payment plan option (as indicated in our website).
Parents may agree to equally split the cost of the VOC or they may mutually agree to share the cost in another manner (e.g., proportional to income, one parent paying for all of it). The percentage each parent will pay for the cost of the VOC will be noted in the Retainer agreement.
