The information in this section is for NS ISO applicants - the person starting the ISO process and who is applying under provincial ISO law. In other words, this information is for:
-
anyone living in Nova Scotia;
-
who is applying to get an order, or change an order;
-
for child support or spousal support;
-
where the other party lives outside of Nova Scotia, in another province/territory within Canada or a reciprocating jurisdiction outside of Canada,
-
you were never married to the other party; and,
-
OR you are married, and only separated, with no divorce ever being filed.*
*There is one exception to this “divorce rule” which is explained in the Divorce Act ISO Guide here.
