File the documents and give them to the other person
You'll need:
- Your Application Response (Form F32)
- Every Affidavit (Form F30) and every document you intend to refer to in court, if it hasn't already been filed at the registry as part of this case. For example, you may already have filed and served your Financial Statement (Form F8).
- The other person's address for service
- An Affidavit of Ordinary Service (Form F16)
Make copies
Make three copies of all your Application Response (Form F32) and every affidavit and other documents and any exhibits or attachments you referred to. If any of these documents have already been filed, you only need two copies.
Your timeframe
You have a strict timeframe. If you're going to oppose the other person's application, you must file and serve the documents for the hearing within five business days of being served with the Notice of Application (Form F31).
File the forms at the Supreme Court registry
Take to the registry:
- your Application Response (Form F32), and
- the original of every Affidavit (Form F30) and every document that you intend to refer to in court, if it hasn't already been filed at the registry as part of this case.
Serve the documents on the other person
On the same day, you must also serve two copies of your Application Response, Affidavits and any exhibits that have not already been served on the other person.
You can serve these documents by ordinary service. This means that you can:
- leave the documents at the other person's address for service (the address they put on their court documents, such as their Notice of Application),
- mail the documents by regular post to the other person's address for service, or
- email or fax the documents, if the other person provided an email address or fax number as part of their address for service.
For more information on serving documents and help with filling out an Affidavit of Ordinary Service (Form F16), see Serve Supreme Court documents by ordinary service. If the other person doesn't attend the hearing, the Affidavit of Ordinary Service will prove to the judge that you served the documents in time.
