Applications for appointment as guardian are difficult as the person who is making the application must provide a special kind of affidavit that talks about the children who are and have been in the person's care, any civil or criminal court proceedings that might impact on the safety of a child, and any history of involvement with the Ministry for Children and Family Development. The person must also provide recent MCFD and police records checks. Applications for appointment as a guardian are discussed in more detail in the [[Guardianship,_Parenting_Arrangements_and_Contact|Guardianship, Parenting Arrangements and Contact]] section of the [[Children]] chapter, under the heading "[[Guardianship,_Parenting_Arrangements_and_Contact#Being_a_guardian_and_becoming_a_guardian|Being a guardian and becoming a guardian]]." | Applications for appointment as guardian are difficult as the person who is making the application must provide a special kind of affidavit that talks about the children who are and have been in the person's care, any civil or criminal court proceedings that might impact on the safety of a child, and any history of involvement with the Ministry for Children and Family Development.

==Supporting parents== | |||
===Parental support=== | |||
The old ''[http://canlii.ca/t/52069 Family Relations Act]'' used to allow parents to sue their adult children for support. That part of the ''Family Relations Act'' was repealed on 24 November 2011 and is not carried forward in the new ''[[Family Law Act]]''. As a result claims for parental support may no longer be brought in British Columbia. | |||
