Divorce is never easy.
This is true whether it is a well-thought-out, mutual decision between two people who are on the same page or a situation involving a lot of unresolved feelings.
Marital separation and embarking on the process of obtaining a divorce mark the start of a major transition for your family. The divorce lawyers at Hayher Lee LLP endeavour to assist and guide you through the separation and divorce process in a way that lessens the stress and allows you to move forward in a constructive and healthy manner.
Our lawyers have specific experience advocating for clients with complex financial circumstances in determining child and spousal support and division of family property. We have successfully represented high-income individuals in trials at the Alberta Court of Appeal, the Alberta Court of King’s Bench, as well as in private arbitrations.
The steps and stages of any divorce matter can be as unique and as personalized as the parties involved.
There is no one size fits all approach to divorce.
An amicable and straightforward divorce often proceeds through the following stages:
- Retain a lawyer
- Exchange Financial Disclosure
- Attempt to reach a resolution
- Enter into a separation agreement
- Submit a divorce application to the courts
