About Port Moody
Port Moody has no courthouse of its own — residents attend the New Westminster Law Courts for Supreme Court matters and Coquitlam Provincial Court for Provincial Court proceedings. This reflects Port Moody's history as a city that has always relied on its neighbours administratively: Port Moody's claim to fame is as the original western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway, where the first transcontinental train arrived in 1886 before the terminus was extended to Vancouver. That railway heritage shaped a city of industrial pride and community identity distinct from its Tri-Cities neighbours. Today, Heritage Mountain, Suter Brook, and Westport are home to professional dual-income couples with waterfront properties, significant investment portfolios, and complex financial circumstances — the kind of family law matters that benefit most from experienced, discreet counsel. Sea to Sky Law's Sapperton Head Office is a direct Millennium Line ride from Moody Centre Station.
BC Supreme Court family law matters for Port Moody are heard at the New Westminster Law Courts (651 Carnarvon Street). Provincial Court proceedings are handled at Coquitlam Provincial Court (3017 Glen Drive). Sea to Sky Law's Sapperton Head Office is easily accessible by transit.

Which courthouse handles Port Moody family law matters?

Provincial Court matters — including protection orders and CFCSA applications — are heard at Coquitlam Provincial Court (3017 Glen Drive). Sea to Sky Law™ represents Port Moody clients at both courthouses.
How is high-net-worth property divided in a Port Moody divorce?
Port Moody's waterfront and heritage properties, combined with the dual-income professional households common in Heritage Mountain and Suter Brook, create significant property division stakes. Under BC's Family Law Act, family property is generally divided equally.
What spousal support rules apply to dual-income professional couples in Port Moody?
The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAG) provide a framework based on income disparity, relationship length, and each spouse's roles. Even in dual-income households, a significant income gap or career sacrifice can give rise to support obligations.

Yes — Port Moody families benefit from complete estate planning including wills, powers of attorney, representation agreements, and beneficiary designations.
