How much is child support in BC?
In some courts in Canada, 70% of people are without a lawyer. If they are up against a lawyer on the other side, they will have a hard time. Even though they know it will be a hard fight against a family lawyer, they would rather do it themselves.
According to a legal trend report in 2018, it’s not because of cost. It’s because the average person thinks it’s too much stress to work with a lawyer. They would rather handle a stressful situation like sole custody by themselves. It’s obvious that the family law industry is broken to anyone who is looking.
Many clients want help with a legal issue, but they don’t know if it’s worth it to hire a lawyer? Will a lawyer really make a difference? Some people going through a family law issue like divorce might become untrusting of people around them.
Dealing with a law firm doesn’t need to be so complicated. If you have a legal issue, the lawyer can tell you roughly how much it’s going to cost.
The attorney can explain how we are going to help you. Once you sign a letter of engagement and provide them with your ID, they get to work on what you asked the lawyer to do.
Parenting After Separation BC
As mentioned above, you are going to need to convince the judge that awarding you sole custody is in the best interests of the child.
You will allow need to show that your house is the most stable environment for the child. Keep in the mind the other party will likely try and show situations that have happened in the past where the environment was not stable.
In family law, there is often an opposing party who will try and make things difficult for you. Therefore, family law can get expensive.
When you try for sole custody, you will also need to show the same thing. You will want to show that the other parent doesn’t have the ability to take care of the child.
You will need to show that where the opposing party is living is an unstable environment for the child.
When you are trying to set up parenting arrangements and support, think about the following:
- The income of yourself and the other party
- How many children you have
- The ages of the children
- With who the children are living
- Where the children are living
Does The Child Always Go With The Mother?
Absolutely not. The courts prefer that the child can spend time with both the father and the mother.
Mothers and fathers bring different lessons and skills to a child, and if possible, it’s best the child sees both parents.
That being said, the courts are not going to put a child in an unsafe environment. Having a child custody lawyer help you prepare your materials for court can make a big difference if you win your case.
