Orders about child support and spousal support
====Orders about child support and spousal support====
Under sections 148 and 163 of the ''[[Family Law Act]]'', an agreement about child support or spousal support that has been filed in court can also be enforced under the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/840m Family Maintenance Enforcement Act]'' and the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/84h5 Court Order Enforcement Act]''. Filing an agreement with the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program can be very helpful, as the program provides its services for free and can take some steps, like seizing passports and driver's licences, that lawyers can't.
Agreements about child support or spousal support made outside of British Columbia can be filed in court here under the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/84l3 Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act]'', and then be enforced under the ''Family Maintenance Enforcement Act''.
