<blockquote><tt>:: (1) A court may make an order to do one or both of the following:</tt></blockquote>::::<blockquote><blockquote><tt>(a) require the parties to participate in family dispute resolution;</tt></blockquote></blockquote>::::<blockquote><blockquote><tt>(b) require one or more parties or, without the consent of the child's guardian, a child, to attend counselling, specified services or programs.</tt></blockquote></blockquote>::<blockquote><tt>(2) If the court makes an order under subsection (1), the court may allocate among the parties, or require one party alone to pay, the fees relating to the family dispute resolution, counselling, services or programs.</tt></blockquote>
