After you get the order
Unless the judge orders otherwise, the clerk will prepare the protection order and give copies to the protection order registry (that police can access if necessary) and to you.
It’s a good idea to keep this copy with you. You can show it to the police if your partner doesn’t follow one of the conditions. If the order includes your children, also give a copy to anyone who takes care of them when they aren’t with you, such as their teachers, child care providers, coaches, or other instructors. Tell them to call the police if your partner doesn’t follow the conditions.
The clerk also gives a copy of the protection order to the person against whom the order was made. The clerk arranges personal service with a professional process server to do this.
If the other peson wasn't in court when the order was made, you'll be asked to fill out a Request for Service of Family Protection Order to help the registry arrange service.
If the clerk is unable to arrange for service (for example, because the person lives outside BC, they didn’t get enough information about where the person can be found, or the person is evading service), they’ll tell you to arrange for service of the protection order.
