Family Lawyers in Surrey

If you're searching for a family lawyer in Surrey, you're likely at one of the harder moments of your life, and choosing from a long list of firms, many of them actually based in Vancouver or New Westminster. We'll keep our part simple: SiLaw Group Family Lawyers is a boutique Surrey firm. Family law and mediation are all we do, our office is on Croydon Drive in South Surrey, and we work in English and Punjabi.

Serving every part of Surrey

Our clients come from across the city (City Centre and Whalley, Guildford, Fleetwood, Newton, Cloverdale, and South Surrey) as well as White Rock and neighbouring communities like Langley, Delta and New Westminster. If getting to our office isn't convenient, consultations and much of the work of a family file can happen by phone or video.

What we help Surrey families with

• Divorce, uncontested and contested
• Parenting arrangements: parenting time and decision-making
• 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, run in-house, not referred out

Where Surrey family court cases are heard

Surrey has its own courthouse: Provincial Court family matters (parenting orders, child and spousal support, and family protection orders) are heard at the Surrey Provincial Court at 14340 57 Avenue. Supreme Court matters (the divorce order itself, and the division of family property and debt) are heard at the BC Supreme Court in New Westminster.

That said, most Surrey families never see the inside of either building. Negotiated separation agreements and mediation resolve the large majority of separations privately. 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

Family law is stressful enough in your first language. We serve clients in Punjabi as well as English: the legal advice, the documents explained, and the conversations that matter, in the language you're most comfortable in. See our Punjabi services page for more.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a family lawyer in Surrey cost?

The first 30 minutes cost nothing. That consultation is free, by phone, video, or in person. Costs after that depend on what your situation needs, from a fixed piece of work like reviewing an agreement to full representation, and we discuss fees openly at the consultation before you commit to anything.

Your office is in South Surrey. Do you act for people elsewhere in Surrey?

Yes. South Surrey is simply where our office sits; our practice covers all of Surrey and the surrounding communities. Many clients handle most of their file by phone and video and visit the office rarely, if at all.

Will my separation end up in court?

In most cases, no. Family matters usually settle by agreement or mediation. Court is the tool for the minority of cases where agreement isn't possible or safety demands it, and if yours is one of them, we represent you there. Either way, the strategy conversation starts at the free consultation.
