(LSEO)File the agreement you want to enforce

You'll need

• A copy of your signed agreement
• A blank Requisition (Form F17.1)
• $30 to file the agreement

If you're applying to enforce an agreement, you must first file it with the court. Filing your agreement is straightforward and either you or the other person can do it.

1. Make a copy of your signed agreement.
2. Fill out the Requisition (Form F17.1). The Requisition is a request to file the agreement. When you fill out the Requisition, you're the claimant, and the other person is the respondent.
3. Take the Requisition, a copy of your agreement, and the $30 filing fee to a Supreme Court registry. You'll have to return to the same Supreme Court registry to complete your application, so choose one that's convenient.

   Fees sometimes change. You can confirm the amount by calling the registry or checking the Supreme Court Civil Rules.

   You must pay the fee in cash, or with a certified cheque or money order made out to the Minister of Finance. Many court registries will also take debit cards, but check first.

4. The registry clerk will:
   • check your documents,
   • take your payment,
   • stamp your documents with the court seal and your file number, and
   • put your documents into the file for your case.

You now have an open family law case and can take steps to enforce your agreement. Write down your court file number to use on the rest of your forms.
