 ====''Divorce Act'' orders====
-When a court order about children 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 which 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.

 Since the ''[[Divorce Act]]'' applies to the whole of Canada, ''[[Divorce Act]]'' orders have effect throughout Canada. An order made under the ''[[Divorce Act]]'' may be registered in any court in Canada under s. 20(3) of the act, and will be treated as an order of the court in which it is registered for enforcement purposes.
