A matter is uncontested when you and your spouse or partner agree on the outcome, or are working cooperatively toward agreement, and need legal assistance to document that agreement properly. Separation agreements, cohabitation and prenuptial agreements, uncontested divorces, consent parenting and support arrangements, and independent legal advice all fall within this scope.
Alberta does not legally require a lawyer for an uncontested divorce, but having a family lawyer review the agreement ensures it is legally enforceable, addresses all required issues, and protects both parties’ rights. Errors in paperwork or incomplete agreements can create problems that are expensive to fix later.
Learn about divorce in CalgaryIndependent legal advice (ILA) means each party has a separate lawyer review a proposed agreement, explain their legal rights and obligations, and advise on the consequences of signing. Alberta courts give far greater weight to family agreements where both parties received ILA, because it demonstrates that each person understood what they were agreeing to.
Adult interdependent partners are two people who have lived together in a relationship of interdependence for three or more continuous years, or who have a child together and share lives with some permanence, or who have entered into an adult interdependent partner agreement. Under Alberta law, adult interdependent partners have rights to spousal support and property division similar to married spouses.
If a matter becomes contested and requires court proceedings, clients may need to retain separate family litigation counsel. Centobin Law Office will say so as early as possible so that a client is not left without representation at a critical point.
