Richmond, BC Divorce Lawyers

Getting divorced is never easy; regardless of how long you were married or why you are choosing to split up, ending your marriage can be a highly involved legal undertaking that will affect every area of your life going forward – your relationships, your finances, your parenting (if you have children), and more.

That’s why it is so important to have quality legal representation on your side. Our Richmond, BC divorce lawyers can explain your options and work to achieve a fair outcome that sets you up well for the future. Call now to book a free consultation and learn more about your next steps.

Do you really need a lawyer to get divorced?

Even if you believe your divorce will be an amicable affair and that inviting a lawyer into the process seems unnecessary, there are many difficult decisions that have to be made during the divorce process. Conflict can arise and things can become contentious very quickly. Having legal counsel is the best way to ensure that your rights and interests are protected regardless of how your divorce unfolds.

If your divorce remains amicable, there is still a lot of paperwork to be completed; legal help will always make divorce easier, not more complicated. However, if you and your spouse can agree on most of the major issues – such as how your assets and property will be divided, how your debts will be divided, and how parenting responsibilities will be shared, etc. – then you can choose to jointly file for an uncontested divorce, which will save you time, money, and stress, and will give you the most control over the outcome.

If an uncontested divorce is not possible, your divorce may need to go before a judge to be settled (in which case, having a lawyer to present your case persuasively before the court is critical).
