Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The time frame varies depending on whether the divorce is contested (in dispute) or uncontested (both parties agree). In BC, you must be separated for one year before a divorce order can be finalized. If issues like property division or child custody are resolved quickly, the total process can take 12 to 18 months. If the matter requires significant negotiation, mediation, or a trial, it will take longer. Our goal is always to expedite the process effectively.

While you are not legally required to have a lawyer, family matters involve complex legal rights, especially under the BC Family Law Act. A family lawyer in Surrey can ensure your rights regarding property division, spousal support, and parenting arrangements are protected, and that any agreement you sign is fair, legally sound, and enforceable in court.

Yes. In British Columbia, common-law partners who have lived in a marriage-like relationship for at least two years have virtually the same legal rights and responsibilities as married spouses regarding property division and spousal support, as defined by the BC Family Law Act. We can help you determine your rights and obligations if your relationship ends.

Absolutely. We are strong advocates for out-of-court resolutions. We offer and utilize Mediation and Collaborative Law options, which are often faster, less expensive, and less emotionally taxing than litigation. Our primary focus is resolving your matter through negotiation and a Separation Agreement, only proceeding to the Surrey Law Courts when necessary to protect your rights.
