You apply to the Court within an existing Family Law Proceeding in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on evidence that the marriage has broken down and there is no reasonable prospect of reconcilation. Your affidavit saying when you married, when you separated, and your belief that there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation usually suffices.
