===Separation agreements===
Section 148(3) of the ''[[Family Law Act]]'' allows a party to an agreement, usually a separation agreement, to file the agreement in the Provincial Court or in the Supreme Court. An agreement that is filed in court can be enforced as if it were an order of the court. It is not necessary for a court proceeding to have been started before an agreement can be filed in court, nor is it necessary that the agreement be a British Columbia agreement.
FMEP will enforce agreements for support, however they require that the agreement be filed in court first, and sent to them, with the court's stamp, before they can enforce the agreement.
