Lemma 37.16.4. Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $f : X \to Y$ be a morphism of schemes over $S$. Assume

1. $X$ is locally of finite presentation over $S$,

2. $X$ is flat over $S$,

3. for every $s \in S$ the morphism $f_ s : X_ s \to Y_ s$ is flat, and

4. $Y$ is locally of finite type over $S$.

Then $f$ is flat. If $f$ is also surjective, then $Y$ is flat over $S$.

Proof. This is a special case of Theorem 37.16.2. $\square$
