If you're looking for a family lawyer in South Surrey, you won't have to come far: our office is at 3108 Croydon Drive, Suite 201, in South Surrey itself, not a downtown tower an hour up King George. We are a boutique firm that practises family law and mediation exclusively, serving South Surrey, White Rock and the surrounding communities in English and Punjabi.
What we help South Surrey families with
Separation and divorce, parenting arrangements, child support, spousal support, dividing property and debt, and separation agreements, the full range of issues that come with the end of a relationship, whether you were married or living common-law. Sandy Sihota is also an accredited family law mediator, arbitrator and parenting coordinator, so mediation is a genuine option here, not a referral elsewhere.
Where South Surrey family court cases are actually heard
There is no courthouse in South Surrey. If your matter goes to court, it will generally be heard in one of two places:
- Provincial Court matters (parenting orders, child and spousal support, family protection orders) are heard at the Surrey Provincial Court at 14340 57 Avenue.
- Supreme Court matters (divorce itself, and the division of family property and debt) are heard at the BC Supreme Court in New Westminster.
Knowing which track your issue is on matters, because it shapes the process, the paperwork and the timeline. It's one of the first things we clarify in a consultation. Many families resolve everything through mediation or a negotiated agreement without a courtroom at all.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to go to court to separate in South Surrey?
Usually not. Most separations resolve by agreement or mediation. Court becomes necessary when the two of you cannot agree and the issues matter enough to have a judge decide. Even then, many cases settle before a trial.
Where do I park / how do I reach your office?
We're on Croydon Drive in South Surrey, just off Highway 99 and easy to reach from anywhere on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. If coming in person is hard, the free consultation also works by phone or video.
Do you offer services in Punjabi?
Yes. ਅਸੀਂ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੇਵਾਵਾਂ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਾਂ। See our Punjabi services page for details.
