{{JP Boyd on Family Law How Do I TOC|expanded=agreements}}
{{OKCOPY}}
Written agreements dealing with one or more of parenting coordination, parental responsibilities and parenting time, contact with a child, child support and spousal support about most family law issues can be filed in the Provincial Court or the Supreme Court under the ''Family Law Act'' and the rules of court:
* agreements on parental responsibilities and parenting time can be filed under s. 44(3) of the ''Family Law Act'',
* agreements on spousal support can be filed under s. 163(3).
Agreements which that are filed in court can be enforced as if they were orders of the court in which they are filed. Among other things, this means that the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program can enforce an agreement for support exactly as it would enforce an order for support, and enforcement by FMEP is the usual reason why agreements are filed in court.
