Common Questions from Salmon Arm Clients
We own a cabin on Shuswap Lake — how is it handled in our separation?
Recreational and lakefront property is family property under BC law. The increase in value during the relationship is divided equally. Options include selling and splitting proceeds, one party buying out the other, or continued co-ownership. Breanna can help you work through the right approach.
We have been married for over 25 years in Salmon Arm — how does a long marriage affect our separation?
Long marriages typically involve more equal sharing of all family property and stronger spousal support obligations. Pension division becomes particularly important. Breanna can walk you through the full picture for a long-marriage separation.
