About Vancouver

The Vancouver Law Courts at 800 Smithe Street are considered one of the finest civic buildings in Canada — completed in 1980 and designed by celebrated Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, the complex features a soaring glass-roofed galleria symbolizing the transparency and openness of justice, through which the public can walk freely. The courts replaced the old Vancouver Courthouse on Georgia Street (now the Vancouver Art Gallery), which had served the city since 1911 — and the move to Robson Square created an integrated civic precinct linking the courts, government offices, and public plazas in a way no other Canadian city has matched. Walking into the Erickson building for a family law hearing is a genuinely striking experience; the architecture is intentionally humanizing. Provincial Court matters for Vancouver families — parenting orders, protection applications, and child support — are heard at the Vancouver Provincial Court locations. Vancouver's diverse and densely populated neighbourhoods present a wide range of family law situations: co-habiting couples in Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant navigating common law rights; high-income professionals in the West End and Coal Harbour dealing with complex property and pension division; and families in East Vancouver and Renfrew-Collingwood managing child support and parenting arrangements on modest incomes. Sea to Sky Law™ is, and clients across Metro Vancouver meet with us by phone or secure video. Vancouver's real estate market — the highest in BC — creates particular complexity in family law: homes in Shaughnessy, the West End, and Coal Harbour represent significant marital assets requiring specialist appraisal, and professional incomes for healthcare workers, tech professionals, and lawyers require sophisticated spousal support analysis.

Our Sapperton Head Office serves Vancouver clients by phone or secure video. Vancouver clients also meet with us by phone or secure video conference. Virtual consultations province-wide.

How are high-value properties divided in Vancouver divorces?

Vancouver properties valued over $1 million require specialized appraisal and valuation strategies. We work with real estate specialists, mortgage brokers, and tax advisors to structure division in a tax-efficient manner — especially important for principal residence exemption claims.

What if we have a mortgage we can't afford to sell the house to pay?

Many Vancouver couples face this situation. Options include: one party buys out the other's equity (refinancing the mortgage), the property is sold and proceeds divided, or a delayed sale agreement is reached. Early legal advice prevents forced sales.

How are spousal support amounts calculated for high-income earners?

For incomes above the Child Support Guidelines ceiling (~$161k), spousal support is calculated using formulas that consider length of relationship, age, earning capacity, and contributions to the relationship. Vancouver's high-income professionals need specialized analysis.
