Family Law
McKimm & Lott - Family Lawyers
Family law issues often arise during the most stressful situation a person can face; the breakdown of a long-term relationship. During this trying and emotional time we are there to help our clients understand their rights and obligations regarding child custody, division of assets, spousal support and child support. Our goal is to help our clients reach a fair and holistic resolution to their family law problems so that they can get on with their life.
Our lawyers can help clarify and resolve family issues through negotiated or mediated agreements or a court action. They are also pleased to advise clients on other family topics such as cohabitation and marriage agreements.
We have offices on both Salt Spring Island and in Sidney. To make an appointment, contact us at the office most convenient for you and we will arrange an interview with one of our family lawyers.
