This section explains common processes and procedures related to family law in BC, from separating from your spouse to addressing the judge in court, and answers common questions about family law issues, such as how to find out if you're divorced and how to avoid paying child support.

The answers and explanations in this section are, of course, only general guides. For most problems, more detailed information can be found in the chapters of the wikibook JP Boyd on Family Law. The advice and assistance of a lawyer is always recommended, even if you're only hiring the lawyer to answer a few questions.
