Before getting into what family law litigation entails for people, it is important to understand some basic information about court cases. Litigation is the process of addressing disputes by filing or responding to a complaint through the court system. Therefore, litigators are trial lawyers who represent clients in a court of law.
So, family law litigation is the process of addressing disputes between people going through divorce and other issues facing couples after a divorce. These disputes can include things like custody, child support, and alimony. Family law litigation also can include cases involving unmarried couples or those who are in “like” relationships but not married.
Collaborative Law is a new approach to divorce, child custody, and settlement of financial agreements. In the new collaborative law process, mediation is used to resolve disputes between couples without court involvement.
A prenuptial agreement (or prenup) can be thought of as an agreement that is made before a couple is married. It details the financial and property arrangements for the spouses in the case of divorce.
A separation agreement is a legally binding document that both parties use to divide the marital assets, debts and other responsibilities. These documents are meant to ensure that each spouse will have a fair amount of separation from the other.
If you’re in the middle of a legal battle, and the judge who made your interim decision was out of the country, or died before your case was over, you can take your case to the BC Court of Appeal. If your matter is heard under the Family Law Act, your only option is to appeal if the Court of Appeal says it’s okay to do so. This is called getting leave to appeal.
While some parents want to avoid hiring a lawyer, there are certain circumstances that call for one. Child custody can be a very complicated area of law, and without a lawyer, something could go wrong.
