MY PRACTICE AREAS
Family Law
The end of a marriage or common law relationship is a stressful and difficult time. Jessica can help you to understand your rights and responsibilities, and to achieve a fair and reasonable resolution of the issues.
Mediation
Mediation allows parties to paint their own picture of separation. It’s important to be supported
through this process. Jessica has taken part in hundreds of mediations, both through the court system
and outside of it.
Provincial Court Litigation
The Provincial Court offers legal options with lower cost and simpler processes. Jessica has handled family cases in Provincial Court ranging from guardianship and parenting time to Protection Orders and child maintenance.
Supreme Court Litigation
The Supreme Court of British Columbia is able to service more complex cases, including property and divorce. Jessica has experience taking family cases from initial application through to trial in the Supreme Court.
Separation Agreements
Often, the issues arising from the end of a relationship can be resolved with an agreement. Jessica can advise you regarding your rights, as well as negotiate and draft a separation agreement.
Child Protection
When a child is placed in foster care, parents are often left feeling lost, unaware of their options. Jessica has helped many parents work towards a return of their children into their care, and can do the same for you.
Adoptions
Adoption of a child is a joyous time. Jessica can assist prospective adoptive parents – including grandparent and step-parent adoption – even in situations where litigation is required to complete the adoption.
Marriage Agreements
All the love in the world doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take steps to get on the same page. Jessica can help you to feel confident and secure as you move forward into your life with your future spouse.
