Smith Peacock – Kelowna, BC

A Holistic Approach to Family Law in Kelowna

Smith Peacock is a specialized law firm located in the quiet residential-professional neighbourhood of Christleton Avenue in Kelowna. Led by experienced lawyer Glenda Peacock, the firm is a pioneer in the Okanagan for adopting a humane and holistic approach to family law. They understand that the end of a relationship is emotionally distraught, and they are dedicated to helping clients make objective, long-term decisions through Collaborative Family Law and mediation. Their philosophy is simple: resolve disputes with dignity, keep personal affairs private, and minimize the negative impact on children.

Collaborative Divorce

As leading proponents of the collaborative process, Smith Peacock offers a constructive alternative to court battles. As Divorce Lawyers, they work with a team of professionals-including financial experts and communication coaches-to help couples reach a settlement that respects the needs of the entire family. In this process, both parties commit in writing to not go to court, fostering an environment of open communication and cooperation.

Mediation and Negotiation

Not every case requires a collaborative team, but most benefit from a non-adversarial approach. The firm excels in mediation and lawyer-based negotiation to resolve issues of custody, support, and property division. Glenda Peacock’s extensive experience allows her to guide clients toward creative solutions that a judge might not be able to order, ensuring that the final agreement is durable and fair.

Litigation Support

While the firm emphasizes settlement, they also recognize that some disputes cannot be resolved amicably. When necessary, they provide skilled representation as Civil Litigation Lawyers, advocating for their clients’ interests in court. However, their primary goal remains to empower clients to reconstruct their lives without the destruction often caused by traditional litigation.
