Court of King’s Bench family law process is changing!
Have you heard? The Court of King’s Bench family law process is changing on January 2, 2026!
The Court of King’s Bench is introducing its Family Focused Protocol (FFP) on January 2, 2026. The FFP features a new process for dealing with most family law cases in this Court, including current and new cases. We’ve updated our resources to help you and your clients understand these changes!

Read our latest LawNow article about the new process, including why the Court is making the change and supports for self-represented litigants.
New webpage: Go to the Court of King’s Bench
We’ve added a new page to our family law website that explains the different processes for resolving cases as well as the five main steps in the new Regular Family Process under the FFP. The page is live but not yet linked to our main menu. On December 19th, we’ll be adding the page to the menu, removing all references to the Family Docket Court and updating other content as needed.
