Difference between revisions of "Conferences and Provincial Court Family Law Proceedings"

A Family Management Conference ("FMC") is an informal process where a judge or family justice manager tries to help the parties narrow down the issues they disagree about, and if possible, resolve them. Case management orders, directions, and interim orders can be made at a Family Management Conference. Parenting arrangements, child support, and spousal support are often addressed using interim orders. Even final orders can be made if the parties consent or if one party doesn't attend (when that happens, a ''default'' order can be made). The Provincial Court includes information about these conferences and how they're scheduled when a scheduling notice is sent out after the Form 6 Reply to the Application About a Family Law Matter is filed.
