A parent or guardian who is seeking a child support order can apply for that order in either the Supreme Court or the Provincial Court. If there are divorce and/or property division issues (which can only be heard by the Supreme Court) as well as support issues, it usually makes sense to proceed in Supreme Court. Whichever court the parent or guardian wants to proceed in, he or she 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]].
