HORNE COUPAR LLP

Horne Coupar LLP has a team of lawyers who practice exclusively family law. We have the expertise to represent clients in all aspects of family law including divorce, division of property, spousal support, child support, separation agreements, and cohabitation/prenuptial/postnuptial agreements. This means that we can assist you if you are entering a new relationship and want to make arrangements for future division of property, parenting arrangements, and support, or if you are separating or divorcing and require assistance resolving your property, support, and parenting arrangements.

Our family law lawyers appreciate that there is not a “one size fits all” approach to family law and that various situations require different methods of proceeding. We are skilled at resolving your family law matter through alternative dispute resolution such as negotiation, mediation, and/or arbitration, or advancing your case through either the Provincial or Supreme Court of British Columbia. Regardless of the avenue pursued, Horne Coupar LLP’s family law lawyers will work with you to de-escalate any conflict and to help you reach a resolution in your case.

Family law is often intertwined with other legal issues such as estate matters, corporate law, and real estate law. Horne Coupar LLP also provides these services to clients and our team will work together to ensure that all of your legal matters are addressed in a timely and cost-effective manner.
