The Family Law Process in BC
Initial Consultation – Your Story, Your Goals
Our process begins with a focused, fact-finding consultation. You’ll share what matters most, we’ll gather the essential details, and then we develop a transparent, tailored action plan grounded in BC’s Family Law Act and local court rules.
Structured Case Management
Every step follows a clear path under the Family Law Act, Surrey & Greater Vancouver Provincial/Supreme Court procedures, and guided by the child-centric “best-interests” test. You’ll know what’s at issue, what’s next, and why—keeping uncertainty and stress to a minimum.
Resolution Strategy Tailored to Your Needs
We tailor our resolution approach to your unique situation, choosing the path that best protects your interests and goals:
- Negotiation – A private, informal way to reach a fair agreement. Both sides share complete and honest financial and legal information, as required by Section 5 of the Family Law Act (Duty to Disclose).
- Mediation – Facilitated discussion emphasizing the best interests of any children, with a neutral mediator helping you create a customized, durable parenting plan
- Litigation – If an agreement isn’t possible, we advocate for your rights in court. We present evidence and argue your interests, always focusing on BC’s best‑interests framework.
Protecting the Child’s Best Interests
In child‑related matters—guardianship, parenting time, relocation, contact—everything we do centers on protecting your child’s physical, emotional, and psychological well‑being, per the Act’s statutory factors. With us, you’ll have guidance every step of the way.
Ongoing Support & Final Orders
Your case doesn’t end with an agreement or court order. At Legalbird, we stay with you beyond resolution to ensure court orders are implemented smoothly, parenting plans remain practical, and child or spousal support adjustments are handled as circumstances evolve. We can also assist with registration of orders across provinces, variations, or enforcement actions if needed—especially under the Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act or Family Maintenance Enforcement Program (FMEP).

How a Family Lawyer Can Help with Your Divorce
A family lawyer plays a key role in guiding you through the legal and emotional challenges of divorce. Whether your separation is amicable or contested, a lawyer can help you resolve important issues such as child custody, parenting time, spousal support, and property division.
At Legalbird, we ensure your rights are protected and your best interests are represented, whether through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings under BC family law.
How to Choose the Right Family Lawyer for You
Choosing a family lawyer is a personal decision that depends on your unique needs and goals. You may want to consider factors such as the lawyer’s experience with BC family law, their ability to communicate clearly, their approach to resolving disputes, and whether their services fit within your budget.
At Legalbird, all of our family lawyers focus exclusively on family law and bring both legal knowledge and practical experience to every case. We are committed to helping you feel supported, informed, and confident in your legal representation from start to finish.
Your Rights and Obligations Under BC Family Law
Understanding your legal rights and your responsibilities is essential when navigating family law in British Columbia. We help you clarify questions like:
What are my rights if my partner and I never legally married?
Under the BC Family Law Act, common-law partners who have lived together for at least two years, or who share a child, may have the same rights as married spouses regarding property division and support. We’ll assess your relationship status and explain what you may be entitled to or obligated for.
Can I relocate with my child if I share parenting time?
You cannot relocate with a child without first meeting specific notice and consent requirements under Section 66 of the Family Law Act. If the other parent objects, the court will determine whether the move is in the child’s best interests. We’ll help you prepare your case or respond to a relocation request.
What happens if my ex won’t disclose financial information?
Both parties are legally required to provide full and honest financial disclosure. If one side fails to comply, the court can impose consequences, including cost awards or setting aside agreements. We take swift legal action to enforce transparency and protect your interests.
When can support orders be changed or ended?
Child and spousal support orders may be varied if there’s been a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, new expenses, or a change in parenting time. We’ll help you determine if a change is warranted and prepare the legal documents needed to apply for a variation.
