West Point Grey Asset Division Lawyers

Asset Division

At our firm, our West Point Grey divorce lawyers have experience in dividing assets during the divorce process. We work to ensure that you receive what you are rightfully owed. Dividing property can be a complex process, but by thoroughly evaluating what each party owns individually and jointly, we can work towards a fair outcome. In West Point Grey, British Columbia it is especially important to consider the historical value of pre-owned property when determining the distribution of assets following a separation.


Divorce in West Point Grey

If you need to obtain a divorce order as part of your family law case in West Point Grey, we can assist you. While a divorce order may be necessary in some situations, it is often not the first priority after a relationship ends. Instead, there may be more pressing concerns that require immediate attention, such as financial security and arrangements for any children involved. If a divorce order is needed, we can help you navigate the process.

Child support lawyers in West Point Grey

Child Support

Our West Point Grey Family Law and child support lawyers can help you protect your child’s right to adequate financial support. It is widely accepted that children are entitled to have the financial resources of both parents available to support them as they grow and develop. While there are many online resources that can provide an estimate of the basic monthly child support obligation under the Federal Child Support Guidelines, our lawyers can help you navigate the process and ensure that your child’s rights are protected.


Spousal Support

With a wealth of experience in Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines, our West Point Grey divorce lawyers can provide clear, easy-to-understand advice about how spousal support will affect your life after separation. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate this complex area of law and achieve a favourable outcome for your situation.

Co-Parenting Responsibilities

We are dedicated to safeguarding children from the harmful consequences of divorce and will collaborate with child experts, physicians, and therapists to ensure that your perspective and your child’s perspective are considered during this highly emotional process.


Premarital and Cohabitation Agreements

Our West Point Grey divorce lawyers can help you determine if a premarital or cohabitation agreement is the right choice for you. These agreements are useful for outlining financial expectations in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as separation or divorce. Every couple has different needs, so it’s worth considering the benefits of having a written agreement in place. Rather than asking “do I need an agreement?”, you may want to consider “why wouldn’t I have an agreement?”

West Point Grey divorce lawyers, served from Kerrisdale

West Point Grey sits at the north-west corner of the city, from Jericho and Spanish Banks toward the UBC lands. The closest Onyx office is in Kerrisdale, Suite 201 at 5455 West Boulevard, ten to fifteen minutes south-east. We meet West Point Grey clients there.

Two assets tend to dominate a West Point Grey separation: the home and the pensions. Both are family property under Part 5 of the Family Law Act, and both get shared, but they are handled differently — a house is appraised and either sold or bought out, while a pension is divided under the Act’s specific pension rules, sometimes split at source. Getting the valuation date and method right matters on assets this size. These files are heard at the BC Supreme Court, 800 Smithe Street, and we prepare the property side carefully before it is argued.
