Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP)

Yes! The Alberta Ombudsman can investigate complaints about the Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP). Before you make a complaint to us, we want to make sure you’ve tried to resolve your complaint directly with the people involved. Here’s the information for you and some tips on how to make your complaint.

How to Complain to MEP

Learn more about MEP’s complaints process through their Submitting a Compliment or Complaint information sheet. If you disagree with a decision made by MEP, you may submit a request to the Complaint Review Process (CRP) for formal review and response.

Complaints should be addressed to “Complaint Review Process” at the top of your letter or in the email subject line. You may wish to include relevant information in your complaint, including:

  • your name;
  • your FSOS (MEP or RP) file number; and
  • as much detail as possible about the issue of concern.
