When a court order about support has been made under the ''[[Divorce Act]]'', a spouse who moves to a different province can apply to change that order in the new province under s. 18 of the act. The order that the spouse gets, however, will only be a ''provisional order'' which has no immediate effect. The Attorney General is required to send the provisional order to the court that made the order, and that court will have a ''confirmation hearing'' under s. 19. If that court confirms the provisional order, the order will be changed. There's more information about this in the [[Making_Changes_to_Child_Support|Making Changes]] section of the chapter on [[Child Support]], under the heading "[[Making_Changes_to_Child_Support#Orders_made_outside_British_Columbia Orders made outside British Columbia]]." | When a court order about support has been made under the ''[[Divorce Act]]'', a spouse who moves to a different province can apply to change that order in the new province under s. 18 of the act.
