Form 15B PDF Details

In the intricate landscape of family law, the Form 15B, or the Response to Motion to Change, serves as a critical document filed in Ontario courts. This form enables individuals, referred to as respondents, to formally address a request to amend a previous court order or agreement, primarily concerning child custody, access, and support, as well as spousal support. The form requires respondents to provide comprehensive personal and legal information, including their full legal name, contact information, and whether they have legal representation. It is segmented into various parts, each designed to systematically gather the respondent's agreement or disagreement with the claims made by the applicant, detailed explanations of their stance, any factual disputes, and what specific changes they are advocating for if any. The form also delves into financial matters, urging respondents to disclose income details if the motion involves child or spousal support alterations, thereby enabling the court to make an informed decision. Moreover, Form 15B prompts respondents to elucidate why they believe the current court order or agreement should or should not undergo the requested modifications, highlighting the significance of changed circumstances since the original agreement or order was enacted. Through Form 15B, the legal system ensures that both parties have a fair opportunity to present their case, thereby fostering a balanced and equitable resolution process.
