→What's the court process going to be like?
If you need the court to make an order about something, even about something you might agree to, like a divorce, you must start a ''court proceeding''. Court proceedings are also called cases, lawsuits, and actions. There are two types of court proceedings, ''criminal matters'' and ''civil matters''. Criminal matters concern the government's claim that someone has broken a criminal law, like the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/7vf2 Criminal Code]'' or the ''[http://canlii.ca/t/7vtc Controlled Drugs and Substances Act]''. Civil matters concern claims between people, companies and governments. Family law cases are civil matters.
