===Jurisdiction===
The Provincial Court can only deal with claims for orders under the ''[[Family Law Act]]'' and the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/84l3 Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act]''. The Provincial Court does not have the jurisdiction to make orders for the division of family property or family debt, the management of children's property, or orders protecting property. It cannot make any orders under the ''[[Divorce Act]]''. The Provincial Court is unable to make declarations about who the parents of a child are, unless it's necessary in order to deal with another issue, like a claim about child support or guardianship.
The Provincial Court can hear claims about these issues:
#*guardianship of children;,#*parental responsibilities and parenting time;,#*contact with a child;,#*child support;,#*spousal support;,#*changing and cancelling Provincial Court orders;,#*enforcing Provincial Court orders;,#*enforcing Supreme Court orders about guardianship, parental responsibilities, parenting time, and contact; , and,#*moving away, with or without a child.
