Grey Divorce
Grey divorces, when mature couples decide to part ways, are becoming more common. The kids are grown, careers are stable, retirement may be in sight and, in some couples, there is enough financial security to pursue a different life.
Separation Agreements and High Conflict Separations
When a relationship is not working out the road can get bumpy creating additional distress for you. When you and your spouse are contemplating separation, it is time to seek legal advice – finding a lawyer who you trust and who demonstrates skills, but also compassion – is imperative in our view.
Divorce – Contested and Uncontested
It is widely understood that a divorce is one of the most difficult events you will experience in your lifetime. For this reason, it is critical that you have access to all the support you need to ensure the most effective and peaceful resolution possible.
Financial Issues and
Consequences
Separation and divorce requires careful consideration of your assets, property, debt and financial support of children and your spouse. We are prepared for Family Maintenance Enforcement and spousal support claims.
Children and Parenting Agreements Custody & Access Issues
We help our clients with standard custody, parenting coordination and access issues. You will also find us skilled in special and challenging problems relating to parental alienation and child alienation.
Collaboration | Mediation | Arbitration
There are many roads to resolving family law matters. The most conventional and well-known is by trial in a court of law. Going to court can be daunting due to its procedures, rules and expense. Some couples can, with legal assistance, solve their family law matters without going to court.

Appeals and Complex Issues in Family Law
If you are disappointed by the outcome of a trial decision you may wish to reassess a court’s decision with an appeal lawyer.

Special acknowledgement to both Kit Perrick and Kasia Troczynski, senior family law counsel for their persistentence and tenacity in resolving my family law case in BC Supreme Court.
Sean C.
I had a hard time understanding how the legal system and family law works. At first I was really really nervous. I am easily overwhelmed and have an expectation of things to happen faster than they actually can.
Jennifer T.
Kit Perrick was a strong voice in Court – with the Judge, the Crown and other counsel. Worked after-hours on my behalf and kept a sense of integrity: highly recommend Kit for any trial.
