Notice of relocation (Divorce Act).
A branded document you fill in and print — or save as a PDF — in the structure of the Justice Canada Divorce Act Notice of Relocation, Parts A–F. You supply every fact and every proposal. This page does not say which statute applies to you, or whether a move is a “relocation.”
Notice of Relocation
Person giving notice
Name, current address, phone and email — the four fields on the Justice Canada form.
Information about the relocation
The government form asks you to check only one of the three boxes, name each child, and say whether that child is relocating.
Names of the people who are receiving this notice
You list the names. This page does not say who is entitled to receive notice.
Proposal to change parenting arrangements and/or contact arrangements
Your own words. This tool does not suggest a parenting or contact schedule.
Information for people who receive this notice
Part E is printed from the Justice Canada form’s own text — including that form’s 60-day notice and 30-day objection language. It is not rewritten as advice from this site. You do not fill this part in.
Attachments (optional)
The government form lists these as optional.
Name of person giving notice
Printed on the notice. You still sign the paper original yourself.

Prepared with the free notice-of-relocation tool at repmyself.ca/notice-of-relocation
This notice is authored by the person who filled it in. It is not legal advice. It follows the structure of the Justice Canada Divorce Act form; it is not a determination of which statute applies or whether a move is a relocation. Repmyself.ca is not a law firm, and using it does not create a lawyer–client relationship. Operated by The Family Law Assistant Inc.

The Divorce Act form’s structure. Not a provincial giving-notice form.
This tool prepares a notice in the structure of the Justice Canada Divorce Act Notice of Relocation form. It is a Repmyself.ca document. It does not carry the Canada wordmark.
Parenting orders under a provincial statute — for example the British Columbia Family Law Act — use different notice rules, and there is no government-prescribed giving-notice form for those orders. This page does not say which statute applies to you, and it does not say whether your move is a “relocation.”
This is a giving-notice document in that federal form’s structure. It is not an objection to a relocation.
Justice Canada notes, as information on the official form, that there are situations in which giving notice might not be appropriate or safe, including where there is a risk of family violence, and that a court can make an order that changes or removes the notice requirement. This page does not ask you to decide that.
Official sources, checked 28 August 2026: the Notice of Relocation form page, the official PDF, and the Justice Canada fact sheet Moving after separation or divorce?
A financial statement is a different document — see family-court financial statements if that is the next piece of paper you are looking at.
What this tool does, and what it doesn’t
It puts the facts you type onto a branded notice that follows Parts A–F of the Justice Canada form. Being specific about the rest:
- You supply every fact and every proposal. Missing required fields are flagged. Part D is a blank for your own words — this tool does not suggest a schedule.
- It does not say which statute applies, whether a move is a relocation, who is entitled to notice, or what anyone should file or object to.
- Part E is the government form’s own recipient text, including that form’s 60-day notice and 30-day objection language, labelled as such.
- It is not the official Government of Canada form and does not reproduce the Canada wordmark.
Frequently asked
Is this the official Justice Canada form?
No. This is a Repmyself.ca document that follows the structure of the Justice Canada Divorce Act Notice of Relocation form, Parts A–F. It does not carry the Canada wordmark. The official PDF and web form remain on justice.gc.ca.
Does this page say whether my move is a relocation, or which statute applies?
No. The tool prepares a notice in the structure of the federal Divorce Act form. Parenting orders under a provincial statute — for example the British Columbia Family Law Act — use different notice rules, and there is no government-prescribed giving-notice form for those orders. This page does not say which statute applies to you or whether your move is a relocation.
What is Part E on the printed notice?
Part E is the information-for-recipients block from the Justice Canada form, including that form’s 60-day notice and 30-day objection language. It is reproduced as the government form’s own text, not as a statement by Repmyself.ca about what anyone should do.
Does anything I type get sent anywhere?
No. The notice runs entirely in your browser. There is no account and nothing is uploaded. Your entries are kept in this browser for 24 hours so a refresh doesn’t lose them, on this device only, and you can clear them at any time.
