Empowering you through protection and advocacy.
Family violence is any form of physical, emotional, sexual, or financial abuse that occurs within a family or intimate relationship. In British Columbia, the Family Law Act and other legislation provide protections for victims of family violence, including restraining orders, custody and access restrictions, and support measures. Recognizing and addressing family violence is critical not only for your safety but also for the well-being of children involved.
Key considerations:
- Family violence can include physical harm, threats, harassment, intimidation, emotional abuse, and controlling behavior
- Courts take allegations of family violence seriously when making decisions about parenting arrangements, access, and property division
- Victims may apply for Protection Orders or other protective measures to ensure safety
- Legal remedies are available to prevent further abuse, including criminal and civil options
How we can help:
- Advising clients on their rights and protections under British Columbia law
- Assisting with restraining orders, emergency protection applications, and parenting arrangements that prioritize safety
- Representing clients in negotiations, mediation, or court proceedings
- Coordinating with law enforcement, social services, and support organizations when needed
- Ensuring that both safety and legal rights are fully protected throughout the process
Our team provides compassionate, strategic guidance to help victims of family violence navigate the legal system. We focus on protecting you and your children, enforcing your legal rights, and creating practical solutions to ensure ongoing safety and stability.
