Few matters in life are as impactful as personal relationships. For those entering into relationships, we can assist with the advice and preparation of prenuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, interdependent relationship agreements, separation agreements, minutes of settlement and others.\u00a0 Such agreements are contracts that can help protect interests, and ensure clear communication.<\/p>

If your relationship is at the point where you need legal advocacy, we can help.\u00a0 We can prepare agreements and divorce documents. We’ll help you to work with the other side to find common ground that will allow you to move on with less expense and stress.<\/p>

If necessary, we can represent you in Alberta Provincial Court or the Court of Queen’s Bench as needed.\u00a0 In case of divorce, we can assist with ensuring appropriate child support and spousal support are paid.\u00a0 The children shouldn’t get less than the law provides, and a payor should not be required to pay more than is appropriate.\u00a0 Children should have as much positive contact with each parent as possible (in most cases), and parental alienation (a terrible form of child abuse) should be discouraged.<\/p><\/div>

Things to Consider if you are thinking about separation or divorce …<\/strong><\/h4>

You should keep in mind:<\/em>
<\/strong><\/p>

  • If you don’t have an agreement, Provincial law will likely govern division of assets.<\/li>
  • Corporate assets can be divisible in a matrimonial property context.<\/li>
  • There are tax implications that come with shared 50\/50 custody.<\/li>
  • Full disclosure of income and assets is standard procedure.<\/li>
  • You don’t want to destroy your child\u2019s self-image, support network, and relationship with a parent because the parents don’t get along.<\/li><\/ul>

    How we can Help<\/strong><\/h4>

    We can provide guidance to assist you in making the best decisions for your circumstances by:<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>

    • Keeping <\/b>you apprised of the state of the law<\/li>
    • Protecting<\/b> your rights and confirming your obligations<\/li>
