SERVICES
-
Whether you're considering separation or proceeding with divorce, we provide clear guidance through every stage of the process. We handle uncontested divorces efficiently, and when disputes arise, we advocate forcefully for fair outcomes. Our divorce services include navigating the one-year separation requirement, filing divorce applications, addressing spousal support, dividing family property and debts, and resolving all ancillary matters to finalize your divorce comprehensively.
-
Your children's wellbeing is paramount in any family law matter. We assist parents in establishing parenting arrangements that serve children's best interests while respecting parental rights. Our custody services include developing parenting plans and schedules, negotiating decision-making authority (parental responsibilities), addressing relocation issues, modifying existing arrangements when circumstances change, and representing parents in contested custody disputes.
-
Support obligations are a critical component of family law matters. We provide strategic advice on both child support and spousal support, ensuring calculations reflect accurate income information and appropriate legal principles.
-
Dividing family property and debt requires careful analysis of what constitutes family property versus excluded property under BC's Family Law Act. We assist with identifying and valuing all family assets, determining excluded property and its growth during the relationship, dividing pensions and retirement accounts, addressing the family home, handling business valuations and division, and resolving debt allocation.
-
Prenuptial agreements (marriage agreements) and cohabitation agreements allow couples to determine in advance how property, support, and other matters will be handled if the relationship ends. These agreements provide certainty and can prevent future disputes. We prepare enforceable agreements tailored to your circumstances and ensure both parties receive independent legal advice as required by BC law.
-
A comprehensive separation agreement addresses all aspects of your separation, including parenting arrangements, child support obligations, spousal support, property and debt division, and other financial matters. When parties can negotiate collaboratively, separation agreements provide certainty and avoid costly litigation. We draft thorough agreements that protect your interests and can be enforced if necessary, while also reviewing agreements proposed by the other party to ensure fairness and legal adequacy.
