DIVORCE

Are you facing a divorce and don’t know where to turn? Our team of experienced divorce lawyers at Spectrum Family Law can provide you with the personal guidance you need during this difficult time.

CHILD CUSTODY

Child custody and child access are often contentious issues when couples with children separate in Alberta. Deciding what’s best for a child is never easy for any parent—let us guide you through this.

CHILD SUPPORT

Child support payments ensure your child is taken care of financially. Whether you’re the custodial parent, or the payor, we’ll help you iron out details such as payment schedules and amounts.

SPOUSAL SUPPORT

Let us help you and your ex-partner set proper expectations and resolve differences amicably rather than through litigation—even if you’re not married. We’ll help you navigate the intricacies of support payments.

FAMILY PROPERTY DIVISION

A separation or divorce involves detaching intertwined financial lives and separating assets and debts. We’ll help you work out a fair arrangement that both partners can be happy with.

COMMON LAW SEPARATION

A common law relationship may give rise to certain legal rights and obligations. These legal issues are often similar to those experienced by married couples, but with important differences.

MARRIAGE AGREEMENTS

Cohabitation agreements and marriage agreements (which are also sometimes called prenuptial agreements) are domestic contracts that people use to protect their interests when entering into a spousal relationship.

SEPARATION AGREEMENTS

This may deal with a broad spectrum of issues including custody and guardianship of children, parenting arrangements, child support, spousal support, division of property and debt.

REAL ESTATE

Ending your marriage is a complicated process –emotionally, financially, and legally. You want to ensure you do everything possible to place yourself in a favorable position in your post-divorce life.
