Let us help you
take care of them

FH&P’s family lawyers put the best interests of your family as our first priority. We do not believe that separation is a contest and must end in a battle where one wins, and one loses. Instead, our team will focus on the long-term interests of our clients, their children, and their finances.

Our family lawyer group specializes in cohabitation, divorce, child and spousal support, parenting time, asset and debt division, and adoption.

When it comes to a separation, our team understands the sensitivity of the situation, whether it’s the division of complicated asset structures, including companies and assets outside of British Columbia, calculating support claims, or addressing the best interests of children. Divorces can be complex and contentious. Our family law team has dealt with hundreds of divorce matters, representing a wide range of clients and situations.

We pride ourselves in resolving family law disputes quickly and cost-effectively. Most often that means using negotiation, mediation, and collaborative law. However, our extensive experience in court allows us a helpful perspective in moving matters forward in a pragmatic, resolute manner. When court is inevitable, we rely on our strength and experience and you can too.
