familyteam

With over 12 years in practice, Onyx Law Group’s team of divorce lawyers serving North Vancouver is dedicated to helping individuals navigate the often complex and emotionally charged process of separation. Our lawyers have a deep understanding of the legal issues surrounding divorce, including financial disputes, child custody, relocation and more.

Our firm specializes in representing clients in high-conflict and complex divorce cases. Our goal is to empower clients to understand and control the process, rather than feeling overwhelmed by it. We are dedicated to protecting our clients’ rights and interests and ensuring that their needs are met throughout the divorce process.

Whether you are just starting the process or are in the middle of a difficult dispute, Onyx Law Group’s experienced North Vancouver divorce lawyers can help you navigate the legal system and achieve a fair resolution for you and your family.

Onyx Law Group serves North Vancouver families from our downtown office at 650 West Georgia Street, a short trip across the Lions Gate or Second Narrows; the North Shore has no Supreme Court registry, so divorce and property files go to the Vancouver Law Courts on Smithe Street, while the North Vancouver Provincial Court handles parenting and support.

    North Vancouver 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 North Vancouver, 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 North Vancouver

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

    Child Support

    Our North Vancouver 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 North Vancouver 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?”

    North Shore Divorce and Where to File

    The North Shore has no Supreme Court registry, so a North Vancouver divorce and any division of property are filed at the Vancouver Law Courts on Smithe Street. The North Vancouver Provincial Court on East 23rd Street can still deal with parenting time, guardianship and support under the Family Law Act, which is often where separating parents begin. Our downtown office at 650 West Georgia is the nearest of our locations, a short trip across the Lions Gate or Second Narrows. We help North Vancouver clients sort out which court each part of their case belongs in before anything is filed.
