British Columbia Family Law Framework

Family law proceedings in British Columbia operate within two main legislative jurisdictions:

BC Family Law Act: Regulates parenting arrangements, guardianship, property and debt division, and rights for common-law couples.
Federal Divorce Act: Governs the formal dissolution of marriage and federal child support principles across provinces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do common-law couples have automatic property rights under Canadian family law?

Rights vary significantly by province. In British Columbia, common-law partners who have lived together for at least two years generally share property rights similar to married spouses. In Ontario, common-law partners do not automatically share statutory property division rights without a written cohabitation agreement, though support claims may apply.

How are child support payments calculated in Canada?

Child support in Canada is calculated using the Federal Child Support Tables, which determine standard monthly amounts based on the paying parent’s gross annual income, the number of eligible children, and the province of residence.

Is a prenuptial agreement enforceable across Canadian courts?

Yes, prenuptial agreements are legally enforceable across Canada provided there was full financial disclosure, absence of duress, and both parties had independent legal advice prior to signing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Haghjou handled my case with the support of Mr. Erfan Behzadi. They were truly even more proactive than I was in following up on my case and handled every step with great care and attention to detail. I sincerely thank them both for their dedication and support.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Samin Mortazavi and the incredible team at Pax Law Corporation enough for their exceptional work. After facing long delays with my citizenship application, I reached out to Samin for a Mandamus application before the Federal Court.
From day one, his expertise and legal mastery were evident. The Memorandum of Argument he prepared was a masterpiece—thorough, impeccably structured, and completely airtight. Within just five and a half months, my citizenship was approved, and I have already got my Canadian citizenship.
A special thanks to Mr. Pouria Soltani, the case manager, who was amazingly supportive and very helpful during whole the process. He took the time to explain every detail and guided me through the entire process with great patience. Also, special appreciation to Ms. Anousheh at the front desk for always being so welcoming, polite, and responsive over the phone.
If you are looking for a highly skilled, dedicated, and top-tier legal team that delivers results, Samin and Pax Law Corporation are hands down the best. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very good experience with Pax Law. I needed my PR card renewal sorted quickly because of an upcoming business trip, so I did some research and also asked ChatGPT for the best and fastest option in Vancouver. Pax Law came up as the first recommendation, so I gave them a call.

They were friendly, very organised and paid attention to every detail. They understood the urgency and had everything prepared for me within two days, with really good communication and follow up throughout.

Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them.
