Difference between revisions of "Responding to a Court Proceeding in a Family Matter"

If you a court proceeding has been started against you in the Provincial Court, you are the ''respondent'' in the proceeding. The person who started the court proceeding is the ''applicant''. You have two choices after being served with applicant's Application to Obtain an Order: do nothing or defend yourself. If you agree with the relief sought, doing nothing is the cheapest and quickest way to handle things. On the other hand, if you only partly agree or if you completely disagree with what the applicant is asking for, you must prepare a ''Reply''.
