Form 29: Application About Enforcement
Use Form 29 when you are asking Provincial Court to enforce an existing family order or certain other enforceable obligations. It is not the form for asking for a brand-new urgent parenting order.
Think: “There is already an order. It is not being followed.”
If you need the court to make a new parenting or support order, another form may be required instead.
Why this guide exists: I went through BC family court myself and found the forms harder to understand than they needed to be.
What Form 29 is for
Form 29 is an enforcement application under the current Provincial Court Family Rules. In plain language, you are telling the court that there is already an order or obligation and asking the court to deal with the fact that it is not being followed.
Example
If an existing order requires something to happen and the other party is not complying, enforcement may be the issue. If instead you need the court to create a new parenting arrangement because of an urgent problem, look at Form 15 or Form 3, depending on what you need.
Urgent is a different question
Form 29 does not mean “urgent hearing.” If the issue is urgent, the rules may allow you to ask to shorten or waive notice using Form 11. Priority parenting matters use Form 15. Protection orders use Form 12.
Where do I file it?
File the completed form at the correct Provincial Court registry for your case. A registry is the court office that accepts and processes court documents. Registry staff can explain filing procedure but cannot give you legal advice.
