Once you have filed a Form F3 Notice of Family Claim, you do not need to file a new one to ask for other court orders against the same respondent. No matter how many years have passed since you started your BC Supreme Court action, or how many years have passed since the court last made an order in the action, the court action stays alive. You may want to add to or make changes to the orders you are requesting, but you do this by a process called ''amendment''. See [[How Do I Change Something in My Notice of Family Claim?]] in the [[Helpful Guides & Common Questions]] part of this resource.
