Can I serve Provincial Court documents on my separated spouse if he or she no longer lives in BC?
Generally, no. If your spouse no longer lives in BC, you’ll have to apply in Supreme Court, not Provincial Court. This is because Provincial Court applications can’t be validly served on a person outside BC. One exception to this rule is for applications to get or change an order for support. The Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act allows you to apply in Provincial Court if your spouse is outside of BC (or if the order you want to change was made in Provincial Court).
