REMEMBER: The ISO process is generally only used for situations where the other party lives outside of Nova Scotia. If both you and the other party live in Nova Scotia, this is not likely the correct process for your application. If you are not sure whether or not you need to file ISO Forms, or which ones to file, please speak with a lawyer for advice.
Use these tables if you receive support and you want to change support order or written agreement you already have. The person applying for the order is called the ‘applicant’ and the person responding to the application is called the ‘respondent’.
Forms are posted in interactive PDF format and Word format, where available.
If you are using the interactive PDF forms, be sure to download and save them to your computer to access all the features, including instructions to guide you through what information is required from you.
