Family Law
Assisting families navigate separation, parenting, support and life transitions.
Divorce and Separation
We provide clear, strategic advice through every stage of separation and divorce. From early planning to negotiated settlements or court proceedings, we help you understand your options, protect your interests, and move forward with confidence.
Child Custody and Parenting
We help parents resolve parenting arrangements with a focus on their children’s best interests and practical, lasting solutions. Our lawyers advise on parenting time, parental responsibilities, decision-making, relocation, and complex parenting disputes.
Guardianship
Guardianship can affect who has responsibility for a child and the authority to make important decisions on their behalf. We advise parents, relatives, and caregivers on guardianship rights, applications, and disputes under British Columbia family law.
Child Support
We advise parents on their rights and obligations under British Columbia’s child support laws. Our lawyers assist with calculating, negotiating, varying, and enforcing support, including disputes involving income, special or extraordinary expenses, and complex financial circumstances.
Spousal Support
Spousal support can have significant and lasting financial consequences after separation. We advise both recipients and payors on entitlement, amount, duration, variation, and termination, with a focus on achieving fair and financially sound outcomes.
Property Division
We help clients protect their financial interests when dividing family property and debt after separation. Our experience includes homes and real estate, businesses, investments, pensions, excluded property, family debt, and other complex assets.
Cohab and Prenup Agreements
Thoughtful planning can provide clarity and protect both parties before problems arise. We prepare cohabitation, marriage, and prenuptial agreements that address property, debt, support, and other financial matters while reflecting each client’s individual circumstances.
Separation Agreements
A well-drafted separation agreement can provide certainty while avoiding unnecessary conflict and litigation. We negotiate and prepare comprehensive agreements addressing parenting, child and spousal support, property division, debt, and other issues arising from separation.
Protection Orders & Family Violence
When safety is at risk, timely and effective legal advice matters. We assist clients experiencing family violence, threats, harassment, or coercive behaviour with protection orders and related family law proceedings, approaching every matter with urgency, discretion, and care.
Family Mediation
Family mediation can provide a private, constructive alternative to resolving disputes in court. We help separating spouses and parents work toward practical agreements on parenting, support, property division, and other family law issues.
Legal Coaching
You may not need a lawyer to handle every aspect of your case. Our legal coaching services give self-represented clients access to experienced family law advice, strategy, document review, and hearing preparation when and where they need it.
Child Protection (MCFD)
If the Ministry of Children and Family Development becomes involved with your family, getting legal advice early can be critical. We represent parents and guardians in MCFD child protection matters, helping them understand the process, respond effectively, and protect their parental and legal rights.
