Serving Families Throughout the Lower Mainland
Raising kids in the Lower Mainland is amazing, but it is also expensive and fast-paced. We understand your daily reality, whether you are figuring out a school drop-off schedule near Stanley Park, co-parenting from a modern condo, or splitting custody across the busy Lions Gate Bridge.
We provide specialized family law guidance to clients across the Lower Mainland, including Vancouver, North Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, Langley, Maple Ridge, Delta, and surrounding communities.
To make legal support as accessible as possible, Booth Legal operates from two offices — one in Vancouver and one in North Vancouver. Our Vancouver office is inside the World Trade Centre Building at Canada Place, just steps from the Waterfront SkyTrain Station, making it easy to get to from anywhere in the city.
Our North Vancouver office is at the Harbourfront Business Centre on Esplanade West, serving families across the North Shore.

Choosing the right lawyer means finding someone who can handle every part of your family’s transition.
We build clear, structured schedules that put your child’s health and happiness first. We make sure everyone knows who makes the big decisions and when each parent gets to see the kids.
We use the BC Family Law Act to calculate fair support payments. This ensures your family’s essential needs, like housing and groceries, are securely covered.
If you and your ex-partner agree on everything, we can handle the paperwork for a desk order divorce.
Most parents settle their issues peacefully outside of court. However, if we must go to the BC Supreme Court, we will guide you safely through the process. Here are the main steps:
Notice of Family Claim
We officially start the legal process by filing this document at the courthouse.
Financial Disclosure
Both sides must honestly share their income, assets, and debt information using a Form F8 Financial Statement.
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.
Trial & Final Orders
If we cannot agree, a judge will listen to both sides and make a final, legally binding decision for your family.
Selecting a custody lawyer is a major decision. Here is why families trust us:
We know the BC Family Law Act and the federal Divorce Act inside and out.
We ensure your agreements are legally strong while always prioritizing your kids.
We push hard for your rights while avoiding messy, high-conflict fights.
Understanding your legal rights is the first step toward a stable future for your children. We are here to handle the legal stress so you can focus on being a great parent.

The amount of child support in BC is determined by looking at both parents’ incomes, the child’s specific lifestyle needs, and your exact parenting time schedule.
Before getting a divorce in BC, you must be separated for one full year. However, the “90-day rule” allows you to try getting back together for up to 90 days without restarting this one-year waiting clock.
In BC, a “common-law” spouse is someone who has lived in a marriage-like relationship for at least two years. Importantly, if you have a child together, you are considered spouses for child support immediately, no matter how long you have lived together.
