The Surrey Provincial Family Court registry is an Early Resolution Registry where most parties to family law matters must complete a needs assessment with a family justice counsellor, a parenting education course, and a consensual dispute resolution session, if appropriate, before filing an application about a family law matter.

The Surrey Justice Access Centre can be contacted directly to schedule a family needs assessment and get information on consensual dispute resolution and how to complete a parenting education program in order to fulfill the Early Resolution Registry requirement of the Surrey Provincial Court for all family law matters filed there.
