Family law matters can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone.

Understanding Family Law in Alberta

Family law in Alberta is governed by a combination of provincial and federal legislation, including the Divorce Act, the Family Law Act, the Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act, and others.
 
These laws cover a broad spectrum of issues, such as:
  • Divorce and legal separation
  • Child custody and parenting arrangements
  • Child support and spousal support
  • Division of property and debts
  • Adoption and guardianship
  • Family violence and protection orders
 
Family disputes can quickly become overwhelming, particularly when children are involved or when there is significant emotional or financial conflict. A skilled family lawyer helps clients understand their rights, options, and responsibilities, guiding them through each stage of the legal process.
