Partner and Head of Family Law, Estella Newbold-Brown, was in the Sun newspaper over the weekend talking about pet-nups. A pet-nup is like a pre-nuptial agreement for pets. It records what you and your partner agree should happen to your pets should your relationship end. To learn more about pet-nups, please visit our website. #FamilyLaw #PetNup

"What if my partner and I were not married but we were separating and have a companion animal? 🐶⁠"⁠ ⁠ The Family Law Act applies to spouses in a “marriage-like relationship” in certain circumstances. Knowing whether your relationship is covered by the Act can be complicated so it’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer about it.⁠ ⁠ If the Family Law Act doesn’t apply to your relationship, you may be able to take the issue to the Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT), the Provincial Court’s Small Claims Court, or the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Where to bring your case usually depends on the dollar value of the claim.⁠ ⁠ • CRT usually deals with claims for up to $5,000⁠ • Small Claims Court usually deals with claims from $5001 to $35,000⁠ • BC Supreme Court usually deals with claims over $35,000⁠ ⁠ If you want to learn more, our Family Law team can guide you!
