===Family settlement conferences===
During a ''family management conference'' the judge may order the parties to attend a ''family settlement conference''. This is at done at the judge's discretion if they think the parties could resolve their issues without the need for a trial. The Provincial Court of BC has a helpful article about [[https://www.provincialcourt.bc.ca/enews/enews-24-04-2018 family settlement conferences]], and the Legal Aid BC's Family Law website also has more information about [[https://family.legalaid.bc.ca/bc-legal-system/if-you-have-go-court/family-settlement-conferences-provincial-court what to expect, what to prepare, and what can come out of these conferences.]
