Pre-Divorce Consultation & Divorce Proceedings
Considering Divorce?
Divorce is the legal process of formally ending a marriage, and there are many reasons why someone might choose to initiate it — from infidelity and conflict to abuse and beyond. In British Columbia, filing for divorce triggers important legal effects, including:
• Starting the limitation period for spousal support and property/debt division claims
• Allowing the option to remarry in the future
• Addressing tax and estate considerations
• Providing legal finality and closure to your separation
It’s an important step toward closing one chapter and opening another. If you're navigating this process, having the right legal support can make all the difference.
