Form F37: Child Support Affidavit

The current child-support affidavit used in specified undefended BC Supreme Court family cases, including desk-order divorce packages where child support is relevant.

Use the current form: The current Form F37 was enacted by B.C. Reg. 152/2025 and is the form in force from January 19, 2026. Do not rely on an older saved affidavit when preparing a current undefended-case package.

When F37 appears

Rule 10-10(2) includes a Child Support Affidavit in Form F37 where appropriate. The F35 requisition package specifically flags F37 where the case includes a child-support claim or a divorce claim involving a child of the marriage.

Why the court needs child-support information

Even when the parties are not fighting about the divorce, the court must have enough information to address its responsibilities concerning children and support. The affidavit provides structured evidence for that review.

F37 is not the same as F8

Form F8 is the broader Financial Statement used for financial disclosure in many support and property situations. F37 is a specific affidavit used in the undefended-judgment process. One does not automatically substitute for the other.

Check the rest of the package

A current F37 does not cure missing pleadings, service proof, Form F36, a required guardianship affidavit, Form F38 or an incorrect draft order.
