Victoria Family Lawyers Serving Clients Throughout BC

When you search for a “Victoria family lawyer serving,” what you’re really looking for is someone who understands both your legal needs and your personal situation. Here at Freedom Family Law, we combine rigorous legal expertise with empathy, integrity, and a client-first approach to help families across Victoria, Vancouver Island, and all of British Columbia.

Who We Are

Freedom Family Law is a modern, fully remote law practice dedicated exclusively to family law agreements — from prenuptial and cohabitation contracts to separation and marriage agreements. 
Our founder, Mathais Sarrazin, leads the firm with a vision of making legal protection accessible, clear, and stress-free. 

Our model is different from traditional firms. We don’t bill by the hour. Instead, we use flat-fee structures and transparent pricing so clients know what to expect from the start, without hidden costs.

Why Choose a Victoria Family Lawyer with a Remote Practice

1. Reach Anywhere in BC

Although “Victoria family lawyers” suggests local focus, our remote model lets us serve clients throughout British Columbia. You don’t have to be local to Victoria to benefit from our services.

2. Convenience and Flexibility

We schedule meetings online or by phone, and can adjust to evenings or weekends when needed. This flexibility is especially helpful for busy professionals or families juggling multiple commitments

3. Expertise in Agreements (Not Litigation)

While many family law firms focus heavily on court battles and litigation, our specialty is lawyer-drafted family agreements — agreements made when relationships change or before they reach crisis. This includes:

• Prenuptial & marriage agreements

• Cohabitation agreements

• Separation agreements

• Common law and property division agreements 

We help clients make legally enforceable, clear contracts that protect assets, clarify expectations, and reduce future conflict.

Key Issues in Family Agreements in BC

Detecting Family Property & Division

Under BC’s Family Law Act and Divorce Act (for married couples), division of property, debts, and assets is a central issue. Agreements must account for:

• Family homes and real estate

• Business interests

• Inheritances or gifts

• Retirement accounts and pensions

A well-drafted agreement can prevent uncertainty and costly disputes later.

Spousal Support & Financial Fairness

An agreement should address when spousal support might apply, how it’s calculated, and under what terms it may change in future. You want clarity and fairness, not ambiguity or open-ended obligations.

Child & Parenting Provisions (When Applicable)

While agreements between married or unmarried adults often focus on property and support, where children are involved, parenting responsibilities, guardianship, contact schedules, and decision-making must be handled carefully.

Enforceability & Legal Validity

An agreement is only useful if it holds up in court. We ensure:

• Proper disclosure of financial information

• Independent legal advice (so each party understands the agreement)

• Formal execution (signing, witnessing)

• Integration with court orders if necessary

How We Work — Our Client Process

1. Intake & Understanding
   We first get to know who you are — your goals, concerns, relationships, and financial position.

2. Drafting & Negotiation
   We prepare a draft agreement tailored to your needs. If there are two parties, we help negotiate fairly and transparently.

3. Review & Revision
   We refine the draft, ensuring all legal and factual issues are addressed.

4. Finalization & Execution
   We guide you through formal signing, witnessing, and, if needed, integration with legal orders.

5. Support & Follow-up
   We stay available for questions, modifications (if circumstances change), or enforcement issues.

At every step, our goal is to make the process accessible, understandable, and respectful of your life, not just your legal position.

Real Voices — Client Testimonials

“Throughout my experience with them, I was deeply impressed not only by their high level of professionalism but also by their warm, compassionate, and approachable manner.” 

“Mathais was a pleasure to work with. Explained all the details and was always open to questions.” 

These reflect our commitment to clarity, compassion, and legal excellence.

The Legal Landscape in Victoria & BC

Victoria has a robust legal community of family law practitioners — from mediators to litigators — and clients benefit from this environment of legal awareness and resources. 

However, many traditional firms combine litigation, estates, and general practice. By focusing exclusively on agreements, we bring deeper specialization in this niche. Competitors like Cook Roberts LLP commonly offer full-spectrum family law services including court representation. 

Because of BC’s legislative framework, the enforceability and clarity of agreements can drastically reduce future legal costs and emotional strain.

How to Get Started

1. Book a Free Consultation – We offer a no-obligation call to discuss your situation and whether an agreement is appropriate. 

2. Provide Documents & Disclosure – We handle the legal and financial details; you just supply the necessary information.

3. Collaborate on a Draft – Expect back-and-forth review, editing, and discussion.

4. Finalize & Sign – We ensure all technical steps are correct so your agreement will hold up.

Why This Matters

• Peace of Mind: Know how your rights and obligations stand before major life events (marriage, separation).

• Cost Savings: Reduce risk of litigation, long disputes, and unexpected legal fees.

• Fairness & Clarity: Avoid ambiguity or unfair assumptions later on.

• Tailored to You: Your agreement is designed for your relationship, assets, and goals.
