Ending a marriage with clarity and dignity.

We handle both contested divorces — where property, support, and parenting are still in dispute — and uncontested (desk order) divorces where the paperwork just needs to be correct the first time.

Fair outcomes on the financial side of separation.

The Family Law Act governs how property and debt are divided in BC. The rules apply to married spouses and to unmarried spouses who have lived together in a marriage-like relationship for at least two years.

Trusts, holdcos, and tax-aware settlement structuring.

Family law for clients with corporate holdings, discretionary family trust interests, foreign assets, or pre-relationship wealth that has grown materially during the relationship.

Practical guidance on one of the hardest financial questions.

Spousal support is meant to compensate a former spouse for missed economic opportunities that are a result of the relationship. Entitlement comes first; the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines then drive amount and duration.

Getting the guidelines right — and the special expenses too.

The guiding principle of Canada's child support law is that children should continue to benefit from the financial means of both parents, just as they would if the parents were still together.

Parental responsibilities and who gets to make which decisions.

Under the Family Law Act, the focus is no longer on parental rights but on parental responsibilities — the ways guardians care for a child and the decisions they have to make.

The time children spend with the adults in their lives.

For unmarried people, the Family Law Act uses 'Parenting Time' for guardians and 'Contact' for non-guardians. For married people, the Divorce Act uses 'Access' to cover all adult time with a child.

Urgent representation when the Ministry is involved.

When a social worker with the Ministry of Children and Family Development is investigating you or your family, getting legal advice early — before the next conversation — can change the outcome.

Clarity now so there's no argument later.

A well-drafted prenuptial or cohabitation agreement can set out, in advance, how property and support will be handled if the relationship ends — protecting business interests, inheritances, and pre-relationship assets.

Appellate work at the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.

Appeals are not a second kick at the can — they're a narrow review for obvious error. They require significant preparation, and there are strict timelines on filing notice.
