Every family is unique. This means you need a legal plan that fits your specific personal and financial goals. We specialize in several different ways to resolve your case:
Avoid stressful court battles by working with a collaborative divorce lawyer in Vancouver. You stay in control of the timeline and outcome, keeping your private matters completely out of court.
A neutral third party helps guide peaceful talks about dividing property and caring for your children. Combined with our expert negotiation skills, this approach creates lasting agreements, protects family relationships, and greatly reduces emotional stress.
Under BC law, the exact day you separate is the legal cutoff for valuing your shared debts and property. We provide expert advice on real estate, business values, and pension division to ensure your hard-earned money is fully protected.
Financial security is vital after a separation. We use BC laws to calculate fair child support that meets your kids’ essential needs. We also secure fair spousal support based on your relationship length and finances.
In BC, there is no official “legal separation.” Since you must wait a full year for a final divorce, we help you write a solid agreement to safely manage your money, debts, and kids during that time.
While many cases are settled outside of court through negotiation, understanding the rules of the BC Supreme Court is essential.
Here is what to expect when you sit down with our team:
Notice of Family Claim
The process officially begins by filing a Notice of Family Claim. If your partner contests the divorce, these papers must be hand-delivered to them by someone over 19 (other than you). This is proven using a Form F15 (Affidavit of Personal Service).
Financial Disclosure
Both partners must be completely honest about their money by exchanging Form F8 Financial Statements. This is mandatory if your case involves support or dividing assets.
Judicial Case Conference (JCC)
Before a case goes to trial, both sides attend a JCC. This is an informal meeting with a judge to explore peaceful settlement options and fix outstanding issues.
Final Orders
Many couples qualify for a “Desk Order” divorce. This means court clerks check your paperwork, and if everything is correct, a judge signs it without you ever needing to step into a courtroom.
Note: A BC judge has a legal duty to make sure child support arrangements are fair. They cannot legally grant a divorce order until they are 100% satisfied that your children are properly cared for.
Choosing the right legal advocate is the most important choice you will make for your case.
Alexandra Booth deeply understands BC court rules and how local judges operate. This allows us to build highly strategic plans for your case.
We push for calm, non-aggressive strategies that promote future teamwork and protect your privacy.
Our practice strictly follows the high standards of the Law Society of British Columbia.
Securing expert counsel is the very first step toward a stable, happy future. Choose Alexandra Booth as your divorce lawyer in Vancouver to provide the smart, caring guidance necessary to navigate the complex world of family law.

Before you can get a divorce, you must be separated for at least one year due to the “breakdown of the marriage.”
You do not always have to go to court to get a divorce. If you and your ex-partner settle all your issues through a separation agreement, you can apply for a “Desk Order” divorce.
Legal fees for a family lawyer are calculated using either an hourly rate or a flat fee (often used for simple uncontested desk orders).
