Family Lawyers: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between legal separation and divorce?
In Alberta, legal separation occurs when a couple decides to live apart but does not yet want to file for divorce. A divorce legally ends the marriage and allows both parties to remarry. Both processes involve addressing issues such as child custody, support, and property division.
How is spousal support determined?
Spousal support is determined by considering factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial situation, and the role each played during the marriage. Our lawyers can help you understand your entitlement and work to secure a fair support arrangement.
How is property divided in a divorce?
In Alberta, marital property is divided equitably. This means assets like real estate, savings, and investments are distributed fairly, though not always equally. Our lawyers ensure that property division is handled appropriately under the law.
How do I start the adoption process?
To start the adoption process, you must meet legal requirements, such as background checks and assessments. Our family lawyers in Calgary will guide you through the steps to ensure all legal aspects are completed properly.
Can we settle our family law issues without going to court?
Yes, many family law issues can be resolved through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation. Our lawyers can help you explore these options to find a solution that works for everyone involved without the need for court intervention.
