	A parent or guardian who is asking for a child support order can apply for that order in either the Supreme Court or the Provincial Court. (If there are claims for divorce or dividing property, which only the Supreme Court can deal with, it usually makes sense to ask for child support in the Supreme Court. You might as well deal with everything in one court.) Whichever court the parent or guardian wants to proceed in, they must start a court proceeding. The process for starting a court proceeding is described in the ~~chapter~~ [[~~Resolving~~ Family Law ~~Problems in~~ Court]]~~, in the section~~ [[Starting a Court ~~Proceeding in a~~ Family ~~Matter~~]].
