Contested Divorce Packages in Alberta
IMPORTANT: This service does not provide legal advice
Pretty self-explanatory really, but a contested divorce is the opposite of the above, where one of the parties, whether it’s you or your spouse disagrees with some or all problems related to the marriage that have been cited while filing for divorce. Financial assets, spousal support and children are often involved and, as you can imagine, it makes the whole process more difficult and complicated.
In the event of a contested divorce, both parties need to file documents highlighting their views on the problems at hand.
We can help in this scenario with our Contested Divorce FLAT FEE package.
