Divorce and Separation Lawyers in Edmonton, Alberta

Divorce and separation are life-changing events that come with both emotional and legal challenges. At Cambria LLP, we help clients in Edmonton and across Alberta navigate the complexities of divorce and separation with compassion, clarity, and expertise. Whether you’re pursuing an uncontested divorce, facing a contested divorce, or need assistance with a separation agreement, our experienced family law team is here to support you at every step. We prioritize protecting your rights, securing fair outcomes, and helping you confidently move forward.


Contested Divorce

A contested divorce arises when spouses cannot agree on key issues such as child custody, spousal support, property division, or other terms of the separation. Contested divorces can be complex and require skilled negotiation and, sometimes, court representation to reach a resolution. Cambria LLP provides strategic legal support for clients in contested divorces, working diligently to protect your interests while pursuing solutions that align with your goals.

Key Issues in Contested Divorce

  • Child Custody and Parenting Arrangements. Disputes over parenting time, decision-making responsibilities, and living arrangements for children.
  • Spousal and Child Support. Determining fair spousal and child support payments, considering income, needs, and Alberta’s support guidelines.
  • Property and Asset Division. Disputes over the division of shared property, real estate, investments, and other assets acquired during the marriage.

Our Contested Divorce Services Include

  • Negotiation and Mediation Support. We prioritize amicable resolutions, using negotiation and mediation to address disputes and reduce court involvement.
  • Representation in Court. If a resolution cannot be reached outside of court, our team provides assertive representation, advocating for your interests in Alberta’s family law courts.
  • Guidance on Legal Rights and Obligations. We help you understand your rights and obligations throughout the divorce process, ensuring you are prepared and informed.

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is typically faster, more affordable, and less stressful than a contested divorce, as both parties agree on the terms of the separation without litigation. Even in an uncontested divorce, working with a lawyer is essential to ensure the agreement is fair, legally sound, and fully compliant with Alberta’s divorce laws. Cambria LLP assists clients with uncontested divorces, helping finalize agreements that provide clarity and peace of mind.

Our Uncontested Divorce Services Include

  • Agreement Drafting and Review. We help prepare or review your divorce agreement, ensuring it covers all necessary issues, including property division, custody, and support.
  • Filing and Documentation. Our team assists with filing all required paperwork for an uncontested divorce, ensuring accuracy and compliance with Alberta’s legal procedures.
  • Finalizing the Divorce Process. We guide you through each step, from filing the divorce application to obtaining the final divorce order, making the process as smooth as possible.

Separation Agreements

A separation agreement is a legally binding document that outlines the terms of a couple’s separation, covering issues such as child custody, support, property division, and more. Separation agreements are essential for couples who choose to live apart without immediately pursuing divorce, as they provide a clear framework for responsibilities and rights during separation. Cambria LLP offers skilled guidance for drafting, reviewing, and finalizing separation agreements that protect your interests and set a foundation for a stable future.

Key Elements of a Separation Agreement

  • Child Custody and Parenting Time. Specify parenting arrangements, visitation schedules, and decision-making authority regarding children’s upbringing.
  • Spousal and Child Support. Outline the agreed terms for child and spousal support payments, taking into account income and financial needs.
  • Property and Debt Division. Determine how assets and liabilities will be divided, including real estate, savings, and other shared assets.
  • Health and Insurance Provisions. Clarify responsibilities for health insurance, medical expenses, and other related costs.

Our Separation Agreement Services Include

  • Tailored Agreement Drafting. We work closely with you to create a separation agreement reflecting your needs and circumstances.
  • Review of Existing Agreements. If you already have a draft, we can review it to ensure it is fair, complete, and enforceable in Alberta.
  • Modification and Enforcement. If circumstances change, we assist with modifying or enforcing separation agreements to ensure continued fairness and relevance.
