Only certain jurisdictions have agreed to the ''Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act'' process. If the place where the other parent lives hasn't made an agreement with British Columbia about child support orders, someone who wants to get a child support order will normally have to start a court proceeding in the place where the other parent lives. This will require hiring a lawyer in that country, and the law that will apply will be the laws of that country, not the ''[[Family Law Act]]'' or the ''[[Divorce Act]]''. | Only certain jurisdictions have agreed to the ''Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act'' process.
