What We Do.

Family law is a diverse subject, with many different potential issues depending on the circumstances of each individual case. Our family law practices involves property law, parenting, uncovering fraud and hidden assets, contract drafting and even corporate reorganization. When necessary, we engage specialists including accountants, child psychologists, counsellors and mediators to assist with resolving claims.

Separation
When you separate from your partner, some good legal advice can go a long way. You may have questions about occupation of the matrimonial home, interim spousal support, child custody and access issues and your personal property. Key decisions you make before and after separation can have a major impact on your legal position and the future of your family. We can help you understand your options, ease your transition, and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Divorce
In order to get a divorce in British Columbia, or anywhere in Canada, issues relating to parenting and child support must be resolved. It's a good idea to divide your property, including both assets and debts. You may also have spousal support issues to contend with. Our family lawyers can help you resolve these issues through communication, negotiation, mediation and, if necessary, litigation.

Child Custody
The best interests of any children need to be protected throughout the separation and divorce process. The practical arrangements that reflect those interests will depend on the circumstances of each case. Every child is unique and we can help you craft solutions that are right for your family.

Prenuptial Agreements
Expertly drafted prenuptial agreements can prevent future conflict. Through careful planning and a mutual commitment to transparency and fairness, couples can start their new life together with confidence. We have worked with many couples in a wide range of situations to draft prenuptial agreements that work for them.
