Court: Ontario family courts — court-specific procedure may differ

Forms record a procedural step or the information required for it; the form should always be read with the rule, legislation and court direction that govern its use.

Ontario Court Services publishes the prescribed Family Law Rules forms and related family-law document collections. A form number identifies the document, but it does not by itself explain when the form is required, who must complete it, how it must be served or filed, or what other material must accompany it. Those answers come from the Family Law Rules, legislation and applicable court directions.

The current version matters because forms are revised. A form can also share a number with a form from a different Ontario rules collection, so the family-law collection and title should be confirmed rather than relying on the number alone. For example, Family Law Rules Form 14C is the Confirmation of Motion, which is different from Form 14C in other court-rule collections.

Binding law / official textConsolidated Provincial Practice Direction for Family Proceedings

Rule 43 — allows parties to choose a Binding Judicial Dispute Resolution (JDR) as a summary process to resolve a family dispute instead of a trial. Through Binding JDR, parties ask the same judge to assist in settling their issues on consent and to make final orders about unresolved issues in a single hearing. Prior to the Binding JDR proceeding, the parties must sign a request and consent form and obtain the approval of the court.

A Binding JDR hearing includes both settlement and adjudication. The judge conducting the Binding JDR hearing will explore possibilities for resolution with the parties. As in any court proceeding, the judge conducting the Binding JDR hearing has an oversight role and must approve any terms of settlement. For issues that cannot be resolved on consent, the judge will hear submissions from the parties about the orders they seek. The judge may ask the parties questions and request additional information, if necessary, to reach an informed and fair decision. The parties do not have an automatic right to call or cross-examine witnesses at a Binding JDR hearing. At the conclusion of the Binding JDR hearing, the judge will provide a final order on the issues, including those that have been resolved on consent.

Rule 13 — (3.1) of the Family Law Rules sets out which documents MUST be included with a Financial Statement where child or spousal support has been sought. An updated Certificate of Financial Disclosure must be provided to the other party.

A party who has not made all reasonable efforts to comply with their disclosure obligations may be subject to a cost sanction, directions/terms imposed and/or the adjournment of any motion brought by that party until compliance. In egregious cases, upon motion, continued non-compliance may result in a party’s pleadings being struck or found in contempt of Court. C.
