Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: I am now divorced but still in the middle of getting the division of assets completed with a family lawyer. I co own a residential farm and have oil and gas company installing a pipeline on the property which also has a water injection well with the same company. My ex wife and I cannot agree on the percentage split that the oil and gas company is wanting to pay. I live off the farm property and she lives on the farm property. Who can help me with legal support for this in BC?
JA: What province are you in? It matters because laws vary by location.
Customer: BC
JA: What steps have you taken so far?
Customer: My family lawyer suggested I find someone with pipeline experience to help me. My ex wife is using her family lawyer regarding this matter.
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: My ex wife and her lawyer are wanting to sue the oil and gas company for potentially taking out some bush but now the oil and gas company have bored under the bush to install the pipeline. Since I share title with my ex wife still on the property I want to know my legal rights for compensation for the pipeline installation. The oil and gas company want to pay but because my ex wife and I cannot agree on percentage split it was decided to wait till we work out our differences.

Debra, Expert

Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.

Debra, Expert

Please note that I am working from my computer and not actually texting. If you don’t answer back for a while I may not be online when you do but I will never desert you and will check back often. As well, as I am working from home it is possible that I will be interrupted but I will always return back as soon as I can.

Finally, although the site offers a call option I personally do not take calls but just work online. Some find this confusing as it looks like the offer is coming from me but that is just how the site presents the offer and it really isn’t coming from me. Some of the other experts do take calls and so you are very welcome to request a call on this post and an expert may take it. They will have the benefit of reading our exchange which should work out very well for everyone involved!

I know your question is important to you and I will be giving it the time and attention it deserves.

I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.

The lawyers on this site can only provide you with general legal information. There are no lawyer from BC on this site.

Your family lawyer should be retaining a specialist.

What you can do to find a lawyer is one of the following things.

You can contact the BC Branch of the Canadian Bar Association and use their Lawyer Referral Service. You will be given the name of a lawyer and can consult with the lawyer and the first half hour will be $25.
The number is:
(###) ###-####or 1.***-***-****.

Or you can check on a site called lexpert. This is a legal directory of leading lawyers and law firms throughout Canada and is well-respected by the legal community.
Here's the link to their website:

http://www.lexpert.ca/directory/find-lawyers-or-law-firms/

Does that help as a starting point?

Customer
The lawyer referral service I will give it a try.
