The client and her former spouse had originally started and filed their own divorce application through the Alberta courts while their children were still dependent minors. What initially seemed manageable soon became overwhelming as they encountered unfamiliar legal requirements, court paperwork, and a lack of court assistance, leaving them unsure what to do next.
Their divorce remained incomplete for an extended period. By the time they sought help from Divorce Easy, their circumstances had changed, and their children were no longer dependent. This meant the original court documents no longer accurately reflected their current situation and needed to be amended before the divorce could move forward.
Therefore, they were now dealing with more than an unfinished divorce. They had an existing court file containing documents that needed to be amended to reflect their family’s current circumstances accurately, and they were unsure how to make those changes or get the application moving again.
The client and her former spouse had already taken the initiative to begin their divorce themselves. However, as they worked through the process, the legal requirements and paperwork became increasingly difficult to navigate.
What was supposed to save them time and money instead led to frustration, wasted time, and an unfinished application. As more time passed, their family circumstances also changed, creating another complication.
They needed experienced support that could pick up where they had left off, determine what needed to be corrected, and get the process moving again.
Divorce Easy reviewed the parties’ existing court file to understand what had already been submitted, what remained outstanding, and what needed to change based on their current circumstances.
The team explained the updated requirements and prepared a complete set of amended documents that accurately reflected the parties’ situation. Rather than requiring the client and her former spouse to coordinate everything themselves, the team arranged the signing process virtually with each party, making it easier to complete the necessary documentation around their schedules.
From there, the team handled the required court filings and managed the application on their behalf. This eliminated the need for additional trips to the courthouse and removed the pressure of figuring out how to correct and complete the existing application themselves.
By taking over the process, the team was able to move the stalled divorce forward while helping the parties avoid further confusion, paperwork errors, and unnecessary delays.
The client and her former spouse were finally able to complete a divorce that had remained unfinished for an extended period. Divorce Easy corrected their outdated court documents to reflect their current circumstances, completed the remaining requirements, and moved their application through the court process without them having to navigate it themselves.
By having Divorce Easy manage the amended documentation, virtual signing, court filings, and application progress, the parties saved significant time and avoided further trips to the courthouse. Most importantly, they were finally able to complete a divorce that had remained unresolved for an extended period and move forward with greater confidence and less stress.
This case shows that a self-filed divorce doesn’t always go according to plan, particularly when an application remains unfinished long enough for family circumstances to change. Getting experienced support can help correct an existing court file, complete what remains, and get a stalled divorce moving forward again.
