Separation
Do you need help navigating your separation but, you don’t want to hire a lawyer to represent you throughout the entire process? Do you want to minimize your legal costs or do you fear that hiring a lawyer may make your separation more difficult? At Galbraith Family Law, we understand, and we can provide you with the minimal services you need within your budget.
Child Custody & Support
Going through a divorce can be very difficult for the involved parties. In addition, things typically get even more difficult when a child or children are involved. We can guide you through the process in an informed and strategic way, help minimize stress and uncertainty and achieve the best possible result for your family.
Do It Yourself
Many folks just need a helping hand and hire us to help give them some limited assistance. Need advice or coaching? We can help. Want us to create documents for you? We’ve got you covered. Just need us to help for one or two steps in the court process? No problem. Whatever you need and is within your budget, we can help.
Family Court
When Family Court is necessary, we will represent your interests with integrity using our honed skills of advocacy to get you your best result. If you need a strong advocate at your side, our team is ready to help. We will ensure your rights are respected whether you need our representation at a motion, case conference, settlement conference or trial. We do Family Court every day.
Keeping It Out of Court
Our “Plan A” is to help you settle all of your family law issues without going to Family Court. We can help you negotiate a separation agreement using Negotiation, Mediation or Collaborative Practice. Most cases just need a little bit of our legal assistance to get it resolved fairly and on a final basis so you can move on with life. We also like to help prevent clients from having legal issues by creating cohabitation and marriage contracts.

Why Choose Galbraith Family Law
The reason to choose us is that we will treat you the way we would like to be treated if in your situation. Firm owner, Brian Galbraith, states “When I went through my own divorce, I wanted to achieve a peaceful resolution (I have three children with my first wife, so I wanted to be able to co-parent with her amicably), in a timely manner (getting a resolution quickly was important) and cost-effectively (I did not want to waste money or the resolution of issues, I would rather spend my money on my children).
"Of course, I wanted to ensure my rights were respected as well, and here at Galbraith Family Law our whole team is there to do just that. We are committed to ensuring that we are strong advocates for our client's rights, while remaining practical and striving to ensure that we help situations, not make them worse. Developing practical, cost-effective resolutions that will result in robust, long-lasting settlement is our goal. We always remember, we treat the client as we would like to be treated if in their shoes."
