Before Form 3: Vernon is an early-resolution registry
Vernon became an Early Resolution Registry on May 1, 2026. For most new Provincial Court family-law matters, start with Form 1 — Notice to Resolve and complete the applicable early-resolution steps before filing Form 3. The Vernon Family Justice Centre provides needs assessments and other early-resolution services. Some urgent and other applications use different procedures; check the official exceptions and requirements.
What can the registry help with?
For a Provincial Court family case, registry staff can give procedural information about filing, required forms, fees and scheduling. They cannot give legal advice, choose your arguments, tell you what evidence to rely on, or predict what a judge will decide.

Before you file or travel to the courthouse
Confirm that this is the registry handling your case and check current hours or filing options with the registry. Existing files, court directions and the type of proceeding can affect where a document should be filed. If you are serving another party, filing a document and serving it are separate procedural steps.
