Mandatory Information Program - Online
This online program is an initiative of The Mediation Centre not the Ministry of Attorney General.
We heard loud and clear from lawyers and clients that this information needed to be available online. We also heard that you wanted to be able to complete the MIP at your convenience instead of maybe ... taking time off of work or you don't have transportation or you would need to hire a babysitter to attend the MIP session date that you would be assigned to. So, we've done it!
It is still a mandatory program for all new applicants and respondents in family court. This online program is the very same script that is read at the MIP session. It will takes one and a half to two hours to complete just as it would if you went in person to one the the MIP sessions.
Directions
You will need to enter a code of 123 for all Simcoe County and District of Muskoka court cases. After putting your code in for authorization, you'll view slides that will have written information while people are reading the script designated for each slide (adjust your speakers on your computer for volume). When the slide is finished you will press 'next' and it will begin the next slide. There will also be a true/false question at the end of each Module that allows you to continue on.
At the end of the scripted program there will be a slide that you fill in with the following information:
To Get your Certificate you will need to fill information similar to this sample:
Name: __________ Male /Female
Phone #:___________ Email: ______ (address you want certificate sent to)
In Court: Yes / No Court File #:____________
Assigned MIP date: (given to you by court office) Your Court Location: (where did you file info)
When you hit "submit" a page of local resources will appear with links to all the sites (you can also obtain it from this highlighed link). You will then receive an email confirming the above information and that you completed the MIP online. (If you don't see it - please check to see if it went in your junkmail/spam folder but then contact us - we will always have a copy if for some reason you did not get a copy!) You should print the page and take it with you to your first appearance date given to you by the court office. When you hand this in to the court clerk it will be your proof of completing the Mandatory Information Program.
