Contested Divorce in Alberta

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.

Contested Divorce –  How it Works

If you do not feel you can go on being married to your spouse and wish to file for divorce, we can help you. A step by step guide to how this works with regards to a Contested Divorce is outlined below.

Step 1: File what is known as a Statement of Claim to the Court of King’s Bench Clerk

Step 2: Serve your Statement of Claim for your divorce to your spouse in order to notify them you are taking divorce action.

Step 3: The Court will issue the order for the divorce

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.
