There must be arrangements made for children under 18 whenever you are going through a divorce proceeding. These are known as corollary relief Orders. Corollary relief Orders are Orders dealing with spousal support, child support, child custody and access. Corollary relief Orders can be made for a limited time (called an ‘Interim Order’) or they can be made as a final Order. They can be made after separation but before a divorce or during the divorce process. Note: if there are children, a Justice must see that there have been arrangements made for their support before granting a divorce judgment. If you and your spouse have children under the age of 16, you MUST attend the Parenting After Separation Seminar before making any application to the court dealing with your children, or before applying for a Divorce Judgment. After completing the course, parents will receive a certificate of completion that will be filed with the courts.
