Difference between revisions of "Interim Applications in Family Matters"

All registries that are not Family Justice or Early Resolution registries are Parenting Education registries where the parties are required to complete a parenting course if there are claims relating to children under age 19, namely:

* guardianship,  

* parenting children,  

* contact with a child, or  

* child support.  

This course usually needs to be completed before a family management conference is scheduled, and before an interim order can be requested or applied for. There are some exceptions to this requirement and Rule 100 of the Provincial Court Family Rules explains these exceptions. If there is a consent order that resolves all the issues regarding any children, if a party doesn't speak the language the program is offered in (or has literacy challenges), or if a party cannot access the online program, an exemption can be requested using the [[PCFR Form 20 Notice of Exemption from Parenting Education Program|Notice of Exemption from Parenting Education Program]] in Form 20.
