      Burnaby Asset Division Lawyers

      Asset Division

      At our firm, our family 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 Burnaby, 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 Burnaby

      If you need to obtain a divorce order as part of your family law case in Burnaby, 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 Burnaby

      Child Support

      Our Burnaby 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, we 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 Burnaby 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?”

      Burnaby Family Court Options

      Burnaby sits within the New Westminster Law Courts’ area for Supreme Court family matters, which is where a Burnaby divorce and any property division are filed. For parenting and support issues on their own, many Burnaby parents start at Provincial Family Court instead, since it moves quickly and charges no filing fee. The trade-off is that Provincial Court can’t grant the divorce or divide property. Our New Westminster office is about ten minutes from the registry, so we can move a Burnaby file between the two courts as the case calls for it.
