Wait for the judge's response to your application
Once you've completed and filed your documents at the court registry, a judge will review them.
The judge might approve and sign your order if they're satisfied that:
- your order is appropriate, and
- you and the other person agree.
If the judge isn't satisfied or needs more information, registry staff will contact you to tell you that you have to appear before a judge and ask for the order (see Step 5).
In all cases, but especially if parenting and support are involved, you must provide adequate information to the judge to support your request. The judge won't simply approve your forms.
