Divorce
If you are looking to get divorced, the first step is to determine what the relevant issues are that will need to be resolved. The process to get a divorce will be different if the spouses have no children, versus if there are children of the marriage. Another factor that may influence how an application for a divorce proceeds will be the amount and type of assets that the spouses own. Children and assets are both very important factors that will influence how one of our lawyers will handle your divorce. There are a number of other important factors that our lawyers will canvass with you that could affect the legal strategy and procedure that is taken to get you divorced.
It is possible that when spouses separate there is still some degree of cooperation between the spouses. If the spouses are amicable towards each other, it may be possible for an application to be made by way of desk order to have a Judge of the Supreme Court of British Columbia to grant a Divorce without the necessity of a court hearing. Tessmer Law Offices is able to assist you in obtaining a desk order divorce if your circumstances will permit it.
