    Richmond 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 Richmond, 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 Richmond

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

    Child Support

    Our Richmond 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 Richmond 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?”

    Richmond Divorce and the Vancouver Registry

    Richmond’s Provincial Court on Elmbridge Way handles family matters like parenting arrangements and support, but a divorce and the division of property must go through the BC Supreme Court, and the nearest registry for that is the Vancouver Law Courts on Smithe Street. Our Kerrisdale office on West Boulevard is the closest of our three locations for Richmond clients, just over the Oak Street Bridge. For couples with a Richmond home or a family business, the property-division side usually drives the strategy, and that part belongs in Supreme Court from the start.
