Featured

Sometimes the truth is simple. Your ex-spouse is a combative, high-conflict person who seems to feed off of making you and your children’s lives miserable. Maybe they often make what appears to be a simple thing really complex and confusing, regardless of how hard you try to work with them. Not only do you suffer, but your kids do too. Because we are lawyers and not psychologists or psychiatrists, we are not in a position to diagnose your ex-spouse. At Pathway Legal, it is our experience that when someone is continuously in high conflict with no end in sight, it may be helpful to adopt effective strategies for people with personality disorders. What you want to do is discover ways to arm yourself and your children, as much as possible, from the continued chaos your ex-spouse might be planning to continue. If you hire a lawyer, ask them if they have experience dealing with high-conflict matters. Ask them specifically how they can help your case and what their plan is.

FAQs

How much does it cost to hire you?

At Align Family Law, we provide our clients with a range of options for legal representation. For some clients, it makes sense to hire us to represent them in all aspects of their case and handle all issues, negotiations and document preparation. In this full representation model, you are charged for the time the lawyer spends on your family matter. We also offer flat-fee packages for certain services, such as filing for a desk order divorce, or drafting separation and cohabitation/marriage agreements when the terms are already agreed upon. Other clients may want help with only specific parts of their case, and they can pick from our menu of services on a flat-rate basis. Check out all of our payment options here.

What is the process of adopting a child in British Columbia?

The process involves various steps such as completing an adoption application, undergoing background checks, attending adoption education sessions, and having a home study conducted by a social worker. Once approved, the adoption must be finalized through a court order.

How is adult adoption different from infant adoption?

Adult adoption involves the legal process of establishing a parent-child relationship between an adult adoptee and an adoptive parent. This typically occurs when an individual wishes to formalize an existing parent-child relationship or provide inheritance rights. In British Columbia, a person over the age of 19 can only be adopted if they lived with the adoptive parents before they came of age.

What is committeeship?

Committeeship is a legal process in which the court appoints a trusted individual or institution (a committee) to make decisions on behalf of someone who is deemed incapable of making decisions for themselves. Committees are often family or friends of the individual. When no one is available, the court can appoint the Public Guardian and Trustee, which is an entity independent of the BC government, with offices in Vancouver, Victoria and Kelowna.
