Fair Decision Making
Changing or ending a court order requires a change in circumstances.
A party to a child protection proceeding (Ministry or FNCFS Agency, parent, First Nation, Person of Sufficient Interest) can apply to court to ask that an order be ended or changed. They must be able to show that there has been a change in circumstances. A judge will consider whether it is in the best interests of the child to change or end the order.
If a judge thinks someone has made the application knowing it would not succeed, the judge may order the party to pay the other parties' costs in responding to the application.
