File and have the documents served
You'll need:
- All four (or five) copies of your documents
File your documents
Take your documents (originals and copies) to the Family Court registry where the original order was made and give them to the clerk.
The clerk will
- keep the Court file copy and the Proof of Service copy
- send the applicant the Receiving party's copy
- stamp the other sets of copies and returned them to you
Have the documents served
The court rules require the registry clerk to serve a copy of your Reply (Form 3) on the applicant within 21 days of the date you file it at the registry.
If you have filled out the "Counterclaim" section of the Reply (Form 3), registry staff will give the applicant 30 days to fill out their own Reply (Form 3). You'll get a copy of this document.
If you made a copy of your documents for the Ministry of Social Development & Poverty Reduction, ask the registry staff if they'll forward your documents to the Ministry for you. (You can ask if they'll just fax a copy of the documents to the Ministry for you, but this may not be possible.)
