Line 133:

Section 20 of the ''[[Divorce Act]]'' says that an order made in a divorce action has legal effect throughout Canada. It also provides that such an order may be filed in the courts of any province and be enforced as if it were an order of the courts of that province. In other words, if your divorce order was made in Alberta and contains a term requiring child support to be paid, you can register that order in the Supreme Court of British Columbia and it will have the same effect and be enforceable here as if it were an order of the courts of British Columbia.

~~See also~~ the ~~section about~~ Getting an ~~Order Outside~~ British Columbia and the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/84l3 Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act]''.

Also read the earlier portion of this chapter, [[Child Support]] beneath the heading "Getting an order outside British Columbia", and consult the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/84l3 Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act]''.

~~Foreign orders which~~ are recognized by ~~the courts of~~ this province and ~~are filed~~ may be enforced by FMEP as if they were orders made by the courts of British Columbia.

Orders from other jurisdictions whose courts are recognized by this province's courts and laws may be filed at a court registry in British Columbia, and then enforced by FMEP just as if they were orders made by the courts of British Columbia.

You can find more information about enforcing orders in the chapter [[Resolving Problems in Court]] ~~within~~ the section [[Enforcing Orders in Family Matters]].

You can find more information about enforcing orders in the chapter [[Resolving Family Law Problems in Court]] under the section [[Enforcing Orders in Family Matters]].
