BC Family Maintenance Agency (BCFMA) is a free service available to families in BC eligible to receive or pay family support. Operating since 1988, it facilitates over $210 million in support payments annually.

The Family Maintenance Enforcement Act (FMEA) provides the authority for BCFMA to monitor and facilitate court filed support orders and agreements, ensuring that families receive the financial support that they are entitled to under provincial federal law.

This presentation provides an overview of BCFMA policy and interpretation relevant to family law practitioners of all levels.
