Get the signed consent order from the court registry

After you file the documents, they'll be given to a judge, master, or registrar to review. If the judge, master, or registrar is satisfied that the order is appropriate, they'll sign your consent order and it will be entered into the court records.

If there's concern about whether the order is appropriate, you may be asked for further information or asked to appear in Chambers.

Ask the registry clerk what day you can return to the court registry to find out whether the order you want has been granted. If the order has been granted when you return, pick up a copy for your records. Make a copy of the original order and give one to the other party.

If you changed a child support order that was registered with the BC Family Maintenance Agency (BCFMA), you must send a copy of the new order to the BCFMA office where the original order was registered.

You can mail or fax it. If you mail the order, you'll need to make a second copy for this purpose so that you can keep the other copy for your records. See the BCFMA website for current addresses.
