About Langley
The Langley Law Courts serve both the City of Langley and the Township of Langley — two entirely separate municipalities with a famously unusual relationship, as the Township surrounds the City but the two are independent governments. Just a short distance away is Fort Langley, where Governor James Douglas proclaimed the Crown Colony of British Columbia on November 19, 1858 — making the Langley area arguably the birthplace of BC's formal legal and governmental order. Courts in this region have deep roots; the Fraser Valley's agricultural land disputes and Indigenous land rights cases have been a constant thread in Langley's legal history. Today, the courthouse serves one of BC's most complex family law landscapes: the agricultural heritage of Aldergrove and Murrayville sits alongside the rapid suburban growth of Walnut Grove and Willoughby, producing a steady stream of farm property divisions, business valuations, and high-value real estate separations that require specialist handling.
Langley Law Courts (20699 56 Ave, Langley) serves Provincial Court family matters including protection orders and CFCSA applications. BC Supreme Court family law matters are heard at Surrey Law Courts (14340 57 Ave, Surrey). Virtual consultations available province-wide for all Langley clients.

How is agricultural or acreage land divided in a Langley separation?
Agricultural land and working farms in Langley are subject to BC's Family Law Act — generally divided equally if acquired during the relationship. However, the complexity of valuing and dividing working farms (including farm equipment, livestock, and agricultural leases) requires careful handling.
My spouse and I own a business in Langley — how is it handled in our divorce?
A Langley business — whether an agricultural operation, a retail business, or a trade company — is family property subject to division under the Family Law Act. Valuing a private business requires a Chartered Business Valuator (CBV). Sea to Sky Law™ works with experienced valuators to ensure your Langley business is properly assessed and that you achieve a fair result.
Can Sea to Sky Law help with estate planning for a Langley family with acreage?
Yes — estate planning for Langley families with agricultural land, acreage, or significant real estate holdings is an important part of protecting your legacy. We provide wills, powers of attorney, farm succession planning advice, and estate administration services for Langley and Fraser Valley clients.
