Maintenance Enforcement and Locate Services (MELS) facilitates
the successful payment of child and spousal support orders in
the Province.
MELS manages:
- The Family
Maintenance Enforcement Program (FMEP), which monitors
and enforces all maintenance orders and agreements that
are filed with it.
- The Family Search Program, which conducts searches,
where necessary, to find a specific person's location, assets,
employment and sources of income in order to obtain, change
or enforce custody, access, guardianship or maintenance
orders or agreements.
- The Reciprocals Program, which ensures the smooth
flow of maintenance orders between the B.C. courts, the
FMEP and reciprocating jurisdictions.
