What family law lawyers in Kelowna help with

Family lawyers advise on separation and divorce, parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, and the division of property. Many also prepare separation agreements and marriage contracts.

Family law in British Columbia: what to know

British Columbia's Limitation Act sets a basic two-year limitation period for most claims, with exceptions. Speak to a lawyer early so that a deadline does not run out.

Divorce is governed by the federal Divorce Act, while property division and some other matters are decided under provincial law, so both matter in most separations.

How to choose a family law lawyer in Kelowna

  1. Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Law Society of British Columbia.
  2. Ask how much of their practice is family law, and how recent their experience is with cases like yours.
  3. Compare the Google rating together with the number of reviews, not the rating alone.
  4. Read recent reviews for comments on communication and responsiveness.
  5. Ask for the fee structure in writing before you sign, including what is billed separately.
  6. Meet with more than one firm if the matter is large, and trust the one that explains your options clearly.
