The Vancouver, British Columbia based M.J. O'Nions Lawyer & Mediator is reaching out to local communities to share the benefit of their vast experience in divorce law. The firm hopes to give couples going through, or even considering, a divorce an idea of the legal options they have and the paths they should pursue.
The Family Lawyer notes that, “Going through a divorce can be one of the most strenuous events in a person’s life. When a couple comes to the conclusion, mutually or otherwise, that they need to resort to divorce proceedings, this is usually because they have decided that their marriage is unsustainable due to personal problems that cannot be remedied.” The issue, according to the firm, is that these couples often face a multitude of problems in addition to the divorce itself. They add, “If you’re going through such a situation, there are a few steps you can take to make your journey less stressful.”
First and foremost, advises the firm, couples should get a divorce lawyer. They specify that, “Both individuals in the relationship must get their own lawyer to represent their side of the divorce proceedings if one intends to file further cases (such as a custody case or a domestic violence case) against their spouse.” However, the M.J. O'Nions Lawyer & Mediator also states that retaining the services of a single lawyer is suitable if both parties mutually and amicably agree to continue with the divorce.
“Most crucially,” says the Family Law expert, “you should hire an experienced Vancouver divorce lawyer, who has a good track record of successful cases, if you want the case to go in your favor—or even if you simply desire for the divorce to be carried out as efficiently and smoothly as possible.” The firm emphasizes that hiring the right lawyer can seriously affect the outcome of a divorce case.
They further caution that the divorce process often devolves into a source of irritation and torment because, in most cases, the couple in question cannot mutually agree on certain terms, such as child custody, division of property, and so on. It is for this reason that the firm strongly recommends that any couple pursuing a divorce should take every possible opportunity they can to come to a mutual agreement regarding the terms of their separation. “If you cannot agree on the terms by which you will divorce, then your case will likely take much longer and be much more complicated than it has necessarily has to be,” states the firm. “At the very least, one of the spouses can take charge of the process and push mediations with the other until a mutually agreeable compromise is reached.”
“Whichever path you take,” says the Law Firm of M.J O'nions, “we also recommend that you learn as much about Family Law in Vancouver as you can. We’ve known many divorcees who said that they had to go through hell while their divorce was underway and, while this tends to be true, we believe that people would feel much less lost and adrift in this situation if they knew more about the relevant laws and how it could apply to them. Getting a divorce can indeed be a difficult process to endure, but knowing more about Family Law can help people prepare for the obstacles they will face.”
The firm points out that, “This knowledge may even give you crucial insight on the expenditures you will inevitably have to grapple with. If you look up how Vancouver courts calculate certain expenditures associated with divorces cases, such as alimony or child maintenance and spousal maintenance charges, you can begin making a rough estimate for yourself. This will give you a headstart on getting your finances in order, if necessary, and will hopefully negate some of the shock of having to absorb new financial responsibilities down the line.”
