Every day, couples decide to separate or divorce. While the process of ending a relationship is not an easy one, our experienced lawyers can help you make the right decisions and come to a satisfactory resolution.
The divorce process begins by filing a Notice of Family Claim in the BC Supreme Court. Either you or your former partner must be resident in BC when you file. The legal papers must then be served on the opposing party with a process server. If the divorce is uncontested, you can apply for a divorce by filing for a “Desk Order Divorce”. An experienced family lawyer can help you file the appropriate paperwork without it getting bounced by the court registry.
A simple uncontested divorce will usually take anywhere from three to six months depending on how long it takes to serve the opposing party with the legal papers and how fast the court registry processes the application. The lawyers at Virgin Law Group have a tremendous amount of experience in family law and divorce.
