The Best Option for You
If You Go to Supreme Court
How do I change an existing Supreme Court order?
If you or your former spouse have an Supreme Court order for custody, guardianship, access or support, and you want to change it, you do not have to start a new family law proceeding. Instead, you will need to apply to change the order, at the same court where the original order was made. The process is the same as applying for an interlocutory (interim) order (see How do I apply for an interlocutory (interim) order?).
Please note:
If the order you want changed was made in a family law proceeding started after July 1, 2002, you may be required to attend a Judicial Case Conference before you can file your Notice of Motion. See How do I obtain a Supreme Court order? for more information about scheduling a Judicial Case Conference.
The Legal Services Society has developed an on-line self-help kit for parents who want to change a Supreme Court child support order, which may be helpful as a guide for changing other orders as well. The kit outlines the steps you will need to take and provides blank forms for you to fill out and file with the court.
