File the documents
You'll need:
- all three sets of copies of your completed documents
You must file your documents at the court registry that is:
- where an existing case between you is filed, or
- closest to where your child lives most of the time, if the case involves a child, or
- closest to where you live, if the case doesn’t involve a child.
Take the completed forms (and the copies you made of them) to the Family Court Registry.
Give the documents to the registry clerk. (If the registry clerk doesn't accept your documents, find out why and get some legal advice.)
The registry clerk keeps one set of the documents for the court file copy. They stamp the other copies and return them to you.
Provincial (Family) Court doesn't charge a filing fee for applications.
