Common Questions from Vernon Clients
Do I need to travel to Kamloops to work with Smallman Family Law from Vernon?
No. Vernon files are handled remotely for most of the work involved, with consultations by phone, video call, or in person. See the contact page for current availability.
How is an acreage or orchard near Vernon divided in a BC separation?
Agricultural property is subject to BC's family property rules — the increase in value during the relationship is divided equally. Proper appraisal is important. Breanna can walk you through the process.
