About the links in the forms table

Blank PDF: These forms are fillable forms available from the Ministry of Justice in .PDF format.

Blank Word: These are templates prepared by John-Paul Boyd in Word .DOC format that you can download and prepare on your computer. (Green text shows where you must make a choice, add information or provide an explanation.)
Blank HTML: These are links to the forms as they appear in the text of the rules of court. These forms are good for reference but will be difficult to work with in a word processing program like Word or Pages.
Completed Example: These are examples of what John-Paul's forms look like when they're filled out.

Notes/Extras: Some forms are accompanied by official guidebooks, which are useful to review. Forms specific only to specific registry types can also be indicated here.

Note: The Provincial Court Family Rules and its forms changed a lot in 2021. The new form numbers, names and descriptions are very different from those before 2021. For example, the old Form 6 (Referral Request) has nothing to do with the new Form 6 (Reply to an Application About a Family Law Matter). Be vigilant and make sure you're not relying on any information about Provincial Court Family Rules and forms from before 2021. The BC Government also hosts a webpage with a list and links to many forms relevant to Provincial Court family forms, including those within the Provincial Court Family Rules, and under several other acts and regulations.

Tip: Before filling out forms from this list, check out the BC Government's Apply for a Family Law Act (FLA) Order service. It could save you time and make applying for an order (including a protection order) or responding to an application much easier.
