Family Lawyers Serving Langley

If you're searching for a family lawyer in Langley, BC, many of the results are firms based in downtown Vancouver or further afield. SiLaw Group Family Lawyers is closer to home: a boutique firm that practises family law and mediation exclusively, with our office at 3108 Croydon Drive, Suite 201 in South Surrey, one city over from Langley. To be clear from the start, that South Surrey office is our only office; we don't have a Langley location. What we do have is a practice built for how Langley families actually work with a lawyer today: consultations and most of the file handled by phone and video, with in-person meetings at our office when it counts, such as signing an agreement or sitting down for mediation.

Working with families across Langley

We act for clients in both the City and the Township of Langley, from Langley City, Willoughby and Walnut Grove to Brookswood, Murrayville, Fort Langley and Aldergrove. Langley sits just east of Surrey along the Fraser Highway and Highway 10 corridors, and our office is off Highway 99 in South Surrey, so coming in for the meetings that matter is a manageable drive rather than a trip into Vancouver. Everything else, from the free first consultation to document review and negotiation updates, can happen by phone or video. We also serve neighbouring Cloverdale and the rest of Surrey.

What we help Langley families with

• Divorce, uncontested and contested
• Parenting arrangements: parenting time and decision-making responsibility
• Child support and spousal support
• Property and debt division, including the family home
• Common-law separations
• Agreements: cohabitation, marriage, and separation agreements
• Family violence and protection orders
• Mediation, arbitration and parenting coordination, offered in-house

Where Langley family court matters are heard

Langley does not have its own Provincial Court location; it does not appear on the Provincial Court of BC's official list of court locations. The court locations nearest Langley on that list are in neighbouring communities, including Surrey (14340 57 Avenue) and Abbotsford. Which registry a Provincial Court matter (parenting orders, child and spousal support, family protection orders) should be filed at depends on your circumstances, and we confirm the right registry for your matter at the consultation. Supreme Court matters, meaning the divorce order itself and the division of family property and debt, are heard at the BC Supreme Court in New Westminster for this region.

The bigger picture: most Langley separations never reach a courtroom at all. Negotiated agreements and mediation resolve the large majority of family matters privately, and because Sandy Sihota is an accredited family law mediator, arbitrator and parenting coordinator, that entire out-of-court path is available at this firm directly.

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੇਵਾਵਾਂ: family law in Punjabi

Frequently asked questions

Do you have an office in Langley?

No. Our one office is at 3108 Croydon Drive, Suite 201 in South Surrey. Many Langley clients handle most of their file by phone and video and come to the office only for the meetings where being in the same room helps, such as mediation sessions or signing a final agreement.

Which courthouse will my Langley family matter go to?

There is no Provincial Court location in Langley itself, so a Provincial Court filing goes to a registry in a neighbouring community; we confirm the right one for your matter at the consultation. Divorce orders and the division of family property are Supreme Court matters heard in New Westminster. And in most cases, none of this is needed, because the matter settles by agreement or mediation.

Do you act for people in both Langley City and the Township of Langley?

Yes. The distinction between the City and the Township matters for municipal services, but not for your family law file; the same provincial legislation and the same courts apply to both. We work with clients across both municipalities.

What does a consultation cost?

The first 30 minutes are free, by phone, video, or in person at our South Surrey office. After that, fees depend on what your situation needs, and we discuss them openly before you commit to anything.
