Our caring and compassionate family lawyers can assist you each step of the way through your separation or divorce.  This includes helping married couples get a divorce judgment, assisting with parenting arrangements for minor children, dealing with child support for payors or recipients, addressing spousal support, and dividing family property and debts. 

We are happy to introduce Flat Fee Separation and Cohab Agreement

Our lawyers try to simplify matters and eliminate unnecessary complexity for clients dealing with a separation.  Broadly, there are 6 main steps to most separations:

• Living separate and apart and ensuring everyone is safe;

• Arranging parenting time and parental decision making for any minor children of the relationship;

• Determining child support for any minor children of the relationship;

• Dividing family property and debts;

• Addressing any possible claims to spousal support; and

• Obtaining a divorce judgment (if the couple is married) or a final order / agreement if the  couple is unmarried. 

We always strive to resolve family law issues withought the need for court, through mediation or negotiated separation agreements.  Unfortunately, if that is not possible, our lawyers are able to carefully and confidently handle issues in court. They regularly appear in the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia. 

For those couples who are not separating, but rather want to enter into a cohabitation agreement, otherwise known as a pre nuptial agreement, our lawyers are able to help you prepare a comprehensive agreement to help protect your life’s work.
