(LPSC)Give the documents to the other person

Give the documents to the other person

You'll need:

There are strict rules about how to give court documents to the other person. You can’t serve your Application About a Family Law Matter yourself. You must arrange for another adult to deliver them to the other person. This is called personal service. You can hire a process server to do this or you can ask a friend or family member to serve the documents for you.

Attach the blank Reply to Application About a Family Matter (Form 6) and Financial Statement (Form 4) to one set of the stamped documents.

Attach the blank Certificate of Service (Form 7) to the other copy of the stamped documents.

Give both sets of documents to the person who will serve the documents. This person must do the following:

  • Give one set of documents to the other person.
  • Fill out the Certificate of Service (Form 7), sign it, and return it and the other set of documents to you.

See Serve Provincial Court documents by ordinary or personal service for information about how to serve a document and complete the Certificate of Service.

If you can't arrange for personal service, you must get a court order for alternative service (sometimes called substituted service). See Arrange for alternative service or get help from a lawyer, such as family duty counsel, to do this.
