(LSRI)Get a copy of the order

Get a copy of the order

The other person will pick up the signed and entered interim order and mail a copy to you. This signed and sealed order is your official court order; be sure to keep a copy of it.

If you don't receive a copy of the order within three or four weeks, you can go to the court registry and ask whether the order has been entered. If it has been, you can get a copy of the filed order from the court file. You may have to pay for photocopying.

If the court makes a child or spousal support order, you may want to register the order with the BC Family Maintenance Agency (BCFMA). BCFMA is a provincial government service that helps people get the maintenance payments they are entitled to. If you're a payor under an order, it can be to your advantage to register because BCFMA keeps an accurate record of all the payments that you send. This prevents disputes with the other party as to whether money has been paid under the order.

For more information, see the Family Justice (Attorney General ministry) website.

For information about how to contact the BCFMA, see the BCFMA website.
