A service offered in most family courts in Nova Scotia as a way for you to begin your court application for certain issues. Intake processes differ from court to court, so you should call your local court to find out their specific process. For some courts, you will have to call and book an intake appointment, and during your appointment you will get help from an intake officer to fill out your court forms, either in a group session or one-on-one. In other courts, you may have to complete some forms first before you meet with an intake person.
Intake usually deals with issues relating to children, like decision-making responsibility, parenting time, contact time, or interaction, or child support or spousal support. Intake usually does not deal with issues like divorce.
