Get and send the order

You'll need

  • The approved (entered) order
  • A copy of the order for the other person
  • A copy for BCFMA, if necessary

Pick up the approved order

You must either go to the court registry to pick up your order or provide a self-addressed envelope and ask the clerk to mail it to you. The entered (signed, sealed, and filed) order is your official court order. Be sure to keep a copy of the order for yourself.

Give a copy to the other person

You're responsible for mailing, giving, or emailing a copy of the entered order to the other person. Do this as soon as possible.

If support is included in the order, you might want to send a copy of the entered order to the BC Family Maintenance Agency (BCFMA). BCFMA's a provincial government service that helps people get the maintenance payments they're entitled to.

Learn more about how the program works or contact BCFMA to enroll.
