If you need to find someone who owes you support due to an agreement or court order, the BC Ministry of Attorney General has a free service that may be able to help enforce and collect the payments for you. It's called the [https://www.fmep.gov.bc.ca Family Maintenance Enforcement Program (FMEP)]. The service will not help you find someone in order to start an action or get an order for support, but FMEP will take action to enforce court orders and agreements and collect the money you are owed. The agreement or court order has to state the specific amount that the payor must pay you in order for FMEP to enforce it. | |||
* | FMEP has some fairly long arms and can be effective in cases where a payor is avoiding their support obligations. FMEP can: | ||
* | * intercept federal sources of income such as income tax or EI, | ||
* | * attach wages, bank accounts or other sources of income, | ||
* | * cancel a current driver’s licence or prevent a new licence being issued, | ||
* | * prevent a motor vehicle registration being issued or renewed, | ||
* suspend a passport or federal licences such as pilot’s licence, | |||
* report unpaid maintenance to a credit bureau, | |||
* summons the payor to a default hearing in court, | |||
* issue a lien against the payor’s personal property or land. | |||
To use the FMEP service, [https://www.fmep.gov.bc.ca/enrol-and-get-started/ visit their website and enroll online]. You can also call FMEP and ask questions about the service: 250-220-4040. | |||
