There are no filing fees, and the court will tell you how to go about serving the other side.
You can get a copy of the Form 3 Application About a Family Law Matter from the court registry for free. The forms are also available online, and you can even use the BC Government's new online form filing service which walks you through and automates much of the application process. See the online ''[https://justice.gov.bc.ca/apply-for-family-order/ Apply for a Family Law Act Order]'' tool. The version of the form that you can get from the court registry includes lots of information about how to fill it out.
If you are making a claim for ''spousal support'' or ''child support'', you'll also have to fill out a form called a Form 4 Financial Statement. The court registry will provide you with this form, or you can find it online. Again, the form is fairly easy to fill out. However, there are certain documents that you must gather and attach to the form, including your last three years' worth of tax returns, your most recent paystub, and so forth.
