Our Family Law Services
No two families are alike. Our legal team provides customized legal solutions that align with your family’s goals and priorities. We don’t just offer advice—we deliver clarity, strategy, and confidence in your next steps.
Divorce and Separation
Ending a relationship is never easy, but working with the right lawyer can make the process smoother and less stressful. We help you draft cohabitation agreements, prepare for divorce and separation, and file all necessary documents with the Court of Queen’s Bench.
As a full-service law firm, we also support couples with prenuptial agreements, allowing them to enter marriage with clear expectations around family property and estate planning.
Child and Spousal Support
Determining child support or spousal support can be complicated, especially when parenting time or income changes. We use Alberta guidelines and recent case law to calculate support amounts that are fair, enforceable, and focused on your children’s best interests.
We can also help with post-separation adjustments and retroactive support claims.
Parenting Plans and Custody
We support individuals and families through the creation of parenting plans that center the child’s needs while protecting parental rights. Our legal advice is grounded in experience and focused on minimizing conflict wherever possible. We’ll help you through everything from daily schedules and school choices to relocation and shared holidays.
Property and Estate Division
Dividing assets like real estate, pensions, and businesses requires clarity and strategy. Our lawyers in Edmonton help identify matrimonial versus exempt estate assets and negotiate equitable division terms. If your matter can’t be resolved through negotiation, we’re prepared to go to court to protect your rights.
We also provide services in estate law, including wills and estate planning and guidance through the probate process—helping you minimize probate fees and navigate post-separation estate obligations.
Mediation, Negotiation, and Litigation Support
Many clients hope to avoid court—and we support that. Our legal team is skilled in alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, to help resolve disputes efficiently and amicably.
However, when negotiation fails, our lawyers are fully prepared for litigation. We represent clients at all levels of court throughout Alberta, with a focus on achieving the best possible outcome while minimizing court costs and emotional strain.
