Do I need a lawyer (in Alberta)?

Hours Updated onDecember 4, 2024 Categories AB

There can be complex issues involved in a divorce case—including receiving what you are legally entitled to—that may not be completely apparent to you. If there are children of the relationship, property issues, child and spousal support issues, the legal issues can be complicated. You need the right guidance and advice.

Our team of Edmonton divorce lawyers have the knowledge and experience necessary to protect your rights and work for a successful outcome for your case. You can count on the lawyers at Spectrum Family Law for practical legal advice and an advocate to represent you in any family law or divorce matter. We are experienced in dealing with difficult matters involving child support, spousal support, child custody/child access and property issues.


CONTACT OUR FAMILY LAW LAWYERS FOR DIVORCE HELP

Due to the emotionally charged nature of divorce cases, it is important to have an objective advocate assist you. The lawyers at Spectrum Family Law can provide you with practical divorce solutions so that you can get through this difficult time in a cost-effective manner. Although it is always preferable to negotiate a resolution of the issues arising out of a separation, our lawyers are prepared to go to court when necessary to ensure your rights are respected. Our team understands that every situation is unique, and we are committed to providing personalized guidance tailored to your needs. We can help address common questions that arise during this process, such as the division of assets, child custody arrangements, and even practical concerns like how soon can you remarry after your divorce is finalized. With our experience and dedication, we aim to empower you with the knowledge and support needed to confidently move forward with your life.

Please contact us now to schedule a consultation with one of our lawyers. We look forward to meeting with you.

A methodology of alternative dispute resolution

You control the outcome that works best for you – rather than a judge who hears your case.

We are expert family law litigators, however we do so with an understanding of the emotional stress that litigation can sometimes have on our client and the existing family unit.

Our team will advise you on the benefits of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration. These alternative methods empower the parties to negotiate an outcome that accounts for their respective interests in a non-adversarial setting – minimizing disruption to your family.
