FAQs
The following are some common questions our family lawyers in Kelowna receive regularly:
-
Who Gets Custody of My Children?In most cases, a biological or adoptive parent gets custody of the children. However, in some scenarios, third parties can apply to get custody. Some common examples of third parties who can get custody are grandparents, aunts, uncles, or step-parents. Usually, it is more challenging for non-biological and non-adoptive parents to take custody. Still, it is possible if they illustrate that it is in the child's best interests to do so. The parent who gets custody is usually the primary caregiver. To get a clearer idea, we recommend scheduling an appointment with us.

What Do I Do If My Spouse Is Not Paying Child Support?The Government has established a BC Family Maintenance Enforcement Program, which assists you in implementing child support obligations free of charge. The organization will need one of the following: A court order demands a parent to pay child support. An Agreement is generally a separation agreement where the parties have delineated the terms of child support.
-
How Long Does It Take to Get a Divorce?Generally, a divorce in BC can take up to 12 months because you will have to be separated for that period to be eligible for divorce.
