Divorce Lawyer Vancouver
Divorce is the legal process that formally ends a marriage. But for many families, obtaining a divorce is only one part of resolving the issues arising from separation.
If you are looking for a divorce lawyer in Vancouver, Illuma Family Law can help you understand the legal issues that may need to be addressed, including parenting, child support, spousal support, property division and debt.
A divorce lawyer can advise you about the legal process for obtaining a divorce and the other issues arising from your separation.
Depending on your circumstances, your family law matter may involve:
Divorce: Obtaining an order formally ending your marriage.
Parenting: Establishing arrangements for where children live and how parenting time is exercised.
Child support: Determining financial support for children.
Spousal support: Assessing whether one spouse may be entitled to financial support.
Property division: Addressing the division of family property and family debt.
Separation agreements: Negotiating and documenting an agreement resolving some or all issues arising from separation.
What Does a Divorce Lawyer Do?
Not necessarily.
A divorce order formally ends a marriage, but it does not automatically resolve every financial or parenting issue between former spouses.
For example, spouses may still need to resolve the division of their home, businesses, investments and other assets, as well as parenting and support.
This is why obtaining legal advice about the broader separation can be important.
Does Getting Divorced Resolve Everything?
Can Divorce Be Complicated?
Every family is different.
Some divorces are relatively straightforward. Others involve significant property, complicated financial circumstances, disagreements about children or high levels of conflict.
Where there are substantial assets, businesses, trusts or complex financial arrangements, early legal advice may be particularly important.
