Craft Your AgreementFocus Areas
Cohabitation Agreement
A cohabitation agreement promotes security and trust, as well as creates peace of mind by outlining a joint vision for your future. It is a practical choice for anyone entering into a new relationship, but especially for those with unique financial or family situations. We understand it is important to you that your interests and wealth are protected as a precautionary measure. Contact our family lawyers to discuss your next steps.
Prenuptial Agreement
A prenup is a legal document that outlines the financial rights and obligations between partners before they marry. It provides a framework for asset division and financial responsibilities in the event of a breakdown, and it is particularly important if you have accumulated assets prior to the relationship. We will help you craft an agreement that protects your entitlements in the areas of property division, finances, family maintenance, and support.
Marriage Contracts Lawyers
A marriage contract helps you and your spouse outline your obligations during the marriage and in the event the marriage ends. Without one, in the case of breakdown, the division of your assets and financial support will be governed by Alberta law. We can help you establish a bulletproof domestic contract to avoid future conflicts, legal costs, and the unpredictability of a negative outcome.
Separation Agreement
A separation agreement can help avoid judicial intervention and litigation down the road. A comprehensive separation agreement should cover all critical aspects of a separation, ensuring fairness and clarity for both parties. Our lawyers can ensure that your settlement complies with Alberta law and that all legal requirements are met. We will also provide valuable advice on your rights and obligations, helping to protect your interests.
Alberta Lawyer For Family Law Agreements
Family law agreements, aka domestic contracts, can promote a sense of security and transparency, as well as create peace of mind by outlining a joint vision for your future. In case of separation, a family law agreement can help avoid judicial intervention and litigation down the road.
We will guide you through how to structure an agreement that protects your interests and assets in the areas of property management, ownership, and division, as well as rights and obligations of parties, family maintenance, and support.
As your lawyer, we can only represent one party. Your spouse or partner will need to seek independent legal advice from another family law lawyer to ensure their interests are also well represented. This step is crucial to maintain fairness and ensure that both parties fully understand the implications of the proposed agreements. However, during our work together you will discuss the procedures and work in progress with your spouse to ensure they consent to the proposed agreements and are comfortable signing off.
