Family Law Pilot Project:
New Procedure for discretionary applications in domestic relations cases

Under this pilot project, divorce and alimony cases will be automatically granted unless the application is found to be frivolous by a majority vote of the Court. The pilot project will commence with all divorce and alimony discretionary applications filed on or after Jan. 6, 2003, until further order of the Court. "Divorce and alimony" cases mean any family law case within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, such as contempt, modification or child custody arising out of a divorce case.
