Family Law Lawyers Surrey BC

We are here for Surrey families

Separation and divorce turn your world upside down. The legal part does not have to make it worse.

Pathway Legal's Surrey office serves families across the Fraser Valley and the Lower Mainland, including Ladner, White Rock, Langley, Cloverdale, and Newton. We also meet with clients province-wide by secure video, so getting quality family law advice does not depend on where you live or how busy your week is.

Our approach has always been the same: help you reach a final separation agreement with as little conflict, cost, and court involvement as possible. Because in our experience, the families who do best are the ones who find a path forward together, not the ones who fight the longest.

About Pathway Legal

Pathway Legal is known province-wide for its client-focused approach, clear communication, and deep commitment to alternative dispute resolution.

We support families through every stage of separation and divorce, offering mediation, legal coaching and negotiation, with court as a last resort.

By focusing on amicable solutions and transparent billing, Pathway Legal Family Lawyers helps clients move forward confidently and efficiently.

Where we meet

Triton Centre,
209-12565-88th Avenue Surrey, B.C. V3W 3J7

Note: In-person office hours are by appointment.

We also serve clients in Ladner, White Rock, Langley, Cloverdale, Newton, and across the Lower Mainland by secure video.

We have had a family law office in Victoria, B.C. for many years. Because we have a unique approach that our clients love, we have expanded our service to help families in Surrey, BC and the Greater Vancouver Area.

Clients in Whalley, Newton, Guildford, Fleetwood, Cloverdale, South Surrey, and the surrounding communities now have access to experienced lawyers who are dedicated to guiding families through separation, divorce, and related family law matters with clarity and compassion. Pathway Legal is committed to accessible, compassionate legal support wherever you are in Surrey.

Our Surrey Team

Sartaj Malhi

Knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely in your corner, Sartaj brings calm clarity to one of life's most stressful chapters.

He believes the best legal support isn't just about knowing the law, it's about showing up consistently, communicating openly, and keeping your goals front and centre. At Pathway Legal, that approach fits right at home.

Outside the office, you'll find Sartaj at the gym, planning his next trip, or tracking down the best new restaurant in the city. He lives by a lesson his father passed down early: teach someone to fish, and you've given them something that lasts. That philosophy shapes how he works with every client.

GUNEET KOHLI

Guneet practices family law with compassion at the core, understanding that behind every file is a real person navigating one of life's hardest chapters. She believes every client deserves a lawyer who fights hard and shows up with genuine empathy.

After completing her legal studies, Guneet came to Pathway Legal with a clear purpose: to practice family law the right way.  Outside the office, Guneet's world revolves around the people she loves most: her husband, her chirpy toddler, and her charming teenager. She's equally happy hiking a trail or bingeing Netflix on the couch, as long as her family is nearby.

Family Law Services in Surrey

Family Law Services in Surrey — Pathway Legal

Separation and Divorce

Whether your relationship ended last week or last year, we help you understand your legal rights and options from day one. We handle both uncontested and contested divorces in BC.

Journey says you can discover more about where to get started here.

Parenting Arrangements

Children need stability during transition. We help families build parenting plans that protect relationships and put kids first, without unnecessary conflict.

Child Support

BC child support is calculated under federal guidelines. We help you get it right, whether you are the paying or receiving parent, and revisit it when life changes.

Spousal Support

Spousal support depends on your specific situation, the length of your relationship, and each person's financial circumstances. We explain what is realistic and why.

Property Division

BC's Family Law Act governs how property and debt are divided after separation. We help you understand what you are entitled to and negotiate a fair outcome.

Collaborative Family Law

Collaborative law keeps your matter out of court entirely. Both parties work with their own lawyers in a structured, commitment-based process designed to reach a final separation agreement.

Mediation Support

We strongly recommend that clients bring their lawyer to mediation. Our team prepares you thoroughly and attends with you so you have legal guidance at every stage.

Unbundled Legal Services

Not every situation requires full representation. We offer unbundled services for clients who want legal advice and document review on specific issues, at a lower cost.


Why Surrey Families Choose Pathway Legal

  • Resolution first, always. We believe court is the last resort, not the first move. Going to court in BC takes many months, and sometimes years, and rarely produces outcomes that full negotiation cannot achieve at a fraction of the cost.
  • Transparent costs from the start. A simple uncontested divorce typically costs around $3,500. Negotiated or mediated matters range from $7,000 to $20,000. Collaborative matters from $10,000 to $30,000. We discuss costs openly at your first meeting.
  • We meet you where you are. Our Surrey office is conveniently located, and secure video appointments are available province-wide. You do not have to rearrange your life to get good legal advice.
  • A money-back guarantee on your first consultation. If you do not find your initial consultation valuable, we refund the fee. No questions asked.
  • A team that actually listens. We know you are not a file number. We take time to understand your family's situation before we recommend anything.
