01
Divorce and Separation
Many important questions need to be addressed when a couple decides to dissolve their marriage, such as
-
How will assets and property be divided?
-
Who will obtain primary custody of the children?
-
Is spousal support necessary?
Before beginning divorce proceedings, evaluating these factors is crucial as they significantly impact the settlement. Our Edmonton divorce lawyers offer expert guidance in creating equitable separation agreements and provide support in enforcing or modifying them post-divorce.
02
Child Custody, Support, and Parental Access
Decisions impacting children should prioritize their best interests. While court intervention may be necessary in some instances, many parents can achieve agreements without the need for litigation. Our lawyers at Anwar Legal Solutions advocate for your parental rights and work towards custody arrangements that prioritize children's best interests and well-being.
​
Ensuring children's rights to access both parents is paramount. Our lawyers specialize in advocating for amicable access arrangements, prioritizing the well-being of children and minimizing conflict during challenging family transitions.
03
Spousal/Partner Support
In Alberta, the reasons for seeking spousal or partner support, often known as alimony, are based on several factors and principles under the legal framework. Spousal support is financial assistance provided to a former spouse after the end of a marriage or an Adult Interdependent Relationship (common law relationship). The primary aim of spousal support is to mitigate financial disparities between partners following their separation or divorce.
We assist in negotiating fair spousal support agreements, ensuring financial stability during and after divorce proceedings. Spousal support considerations include each party's financial circumstances and duration of cohabitation.
04
Division of Property
In Alberta, the division of property after a separation or divorce, whether in a marriage or a common-law relationship, is governed by the Matrimonial Property Act and the Family Property Act. These laws mandate that assets must be divided fairly, which often means equally.
​
Dividing assets after separation requires meticulous evaluation. Whether you are married or in an Adult Interdependent Relationship (AIR), our experienced team at Anwar Legal Solutions specializes in clarifying property ownership and drafting personalized agreements.
