Apply to change the support order (optional)
Start this process immediately so that you can report to the judge at the committal hearing about your progress. Be sure to keep copies of any papers you file to change the order so you can show them to the judge.
The process you follow will depend on where your support order was made:
- If a court in BC made the order, you can use one of our step-by-step guides to apply to change it.
- If your order was made in another province or country, you'll have to follow the process outlined in the Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act (see Part 4 — Variation of a Support Order). Family duty counsel at your local courthouse or a private lawyer can help you with this process.
