Individuals

Family law

Separation, divorce, parenting time and support, handled with as little conflict as the situation allows.

Most separations in Alberta are settled without a trial. Our family lawyers start with negotiation or mediation, and go to court only when it protects you or your children.

What we'll cover in the first meeting

Where you stand on parenting time, support and property under Alberta's Family Property Act, what the process will look like, and a realistic range for the cost.

When there's urgency

If you're worried about safety or about assets being moved, tell us when you call. We can apply for emergency protection orders and preservation orders within days.

Common questions

How long does an uncontested divorce take?

Usually four to six months from filing, depending on the court's schedule.

Do we both need lawyers?

For a separation agreement to hold up, each person should get independent legal advice. We can only act for one of you.
