Divorce Lawyers Serving Penticton & the Okanagan
Onyx Law Group works with people across Penticton and the South Okanagan who are facing divorce or separation. BC’s family law applies the same way here as it does anywhere else in the province, so we can act for you from our Vancouver-area offices — by phone, video, and email, and we travel when a matter calls for it. Our lawyers know the legal issues that come up in a divorce, including dividing finances, child custody, relocation, and more, and we handle each case with care and straight answers
We focus on family law, including high-conflict and complex divorce matters. The aim is simple: you should understand what’s happening and have a say in it, not feel pushed along by a process you didn’t choose, while we work to protect your rights and interests throughout. Where it fits, we also offer mediation and a full case review so you can decide what to do with a clear picture in front of you.
Whether you are just weighing your options or already in the middle of a hard dispute, Onyx Law Group can help. We’ll walk you through how the system works and work toward a fair resolution for you and your family.

As Seen On:
Family Law & Divorce in Penticton
We practise British Columbia family and divorce law, and we know every family in the Penticton area arrives with its own situation and its own questions. So we work closely with you to shape an approach that fits your circumstances. The goal is to help you work through your family law matter and reach an outcome that lets you move forward with confidence.
We’re in your corner and we’ll advocate for you at each stage. Let us help you find the right path forward for you and your family.
Asset Division
Our family lawyers handle asset division in divorce cases regularly. We work to see that you receive what you are rightfully owed. Splitting property is rarely simple, but by carefully evaluating what each party owns individually and jointly, we can work toward a fair outcome. One thing that often matters in Okanagan cases: property a partner brought into the relationship may carry a value the court treats differently, and that history needs proper attention when assets are divided.
Divorce Lawyer Penticton
If your family law matter calls for a divorce order, we can handle it for you. A divorce order is sometimes necessary, but it’s often not the first thing to sort out once a relationship ends. Other concerns usually press harder first, such as financial security and arrangements for any children. When you do need the order, we’ll take you through the process.
Child Support
Our child support lawyers can help you protect your child’s right to proper financial support. Children are entitled to draw on the financial resources of both parents as they grow up. Plenty of online tools will estimate a basic monthly amount under the Federal Child Support Guidelines, our lawyers can guide you through it and work to keep your child’s rights protected.
Spousal Support
We work with the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines, and we can explain in plain terms how spousal support may affect your life after a separation. This is a tangled area of law, and our team is here to help you through it, with the focus on a favourable result we can reach for your situation.
Co-Parenting Responsibilities
Protecting children from the fallout of a divorce is a priority, and we work alongside professionals such as child custody experts, physicians, and therapists so that both your perspective and your child’s perspective are heard. We take time to listen through what is an emotional process, so your family gets the support it needs.
Premarital and Cohabitation Agreements
We can help you decide whether a premarital or cohabitation agreement is right for you, with both partners and the whole family in mind. These agreements are useful for setting out financial expectations if something unexpected happens later, such as separation or divorce, for couples across the South Okanagan. Every couple is different, so it’s worth weighing the case for putting an agreement in writing. Rather than asking, “Do I need one?” the better question may be, “Why wouldn’t I have one?”
