Family Focused Protocol: New Court of King’s Bench Family Focused Protocol Guide

Nov 9, 2026

 

The Court of King’s Bench has posted a new Guide for processes under the Family Focused Protocol (FFP) to the Court’s FFP webpage. Litigants and counsel with family actions at the Court of King’s Bench are encouraged to consult the Guide. In order to ensure that the Court’s FFP instructions remain as current as possible, the previous Family Focused Protocol Manual will no longer be updated and will be removed from the FFP webpage in one week.

The new Guide is lengthy and highly detailed. It is not intended to be read front to back. It is intended to permit lawyers and litigants – whether they are Applicants or Respondents – to navigate quickly to the information they need using links in the Table of Contents. Users are encouraged to read the “How to Use this Guide” section of the Guide first.

Feedback on the FFP Guide can be provided by email to kbexternalfeedback@albertacourts.ca.
