About Port Coquitlam
Port Coquitlam courthouse is on Mary Hill Road, named for the distinctive glacial drumlin that defines the city geography — one of the most recognizable landforms in the Lower Mainland. Port Coquitlam separated from Coquitlam in 1913 and has maintained its own civic identity since: PoCo was a major CPR yard town, and that industrial railway heritage shaped the eastern edge of the Tri-Cities. For Supreme Court matters, Port Coquitlam residents attend the New Westminster Law Courts — Sea to Sky Law Sapperton Head Office serves clients by phone or secure video. PoCo close-knit communities of Citadel, Birchland Manor, Lincoln Park, and Cedar Drive bring a steady stream of child support, custody, and separation agreement matters to the courts, and Sea to Sky Law is proud to make expert BC family law accessible to working families.

A properly drafted and witnessed agreement is enforceable in BC courts.
