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 Provincial Court Family Rules and its forms changed a lot in 2021.

Check the section Other Forms and Documents (Family Law) for other forms mentioned in this resource that are required by legislation or regulations other than court rules, and for other kinds of documents used in family law.
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.
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.
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.
