Avoid Costly Legal Battles: How Alberta Paralegals Can Help

Divorce can be an emotional and financial burden, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. Many couples assume that ending a marriage requires costly legal battles, but paralegal services offer a more affordable, stress-free, and efficient option in Alberta. If you’re looking for an affordable divorce in Alberta, working with expert paralegals like Divorce EZ can help you easily navigate the process—without unnecessary legal fees.  

This blog covers how paralegals make divorce more affordable, the benefits of an uncontested divorce, and Alberta’s legal requirements, helping you navigate separation with clarity.  

Traditional divorce proceedings can be expensive, often costing thousands of dollars in legal fees. The longer a case drags on, the more both parties end up paying. Hiring a lawyer for a contested divorce typically means dealing with court appearances, negotiations, and hourly legal rates that can quickly add up. 

But for couples who agree on key issues such as division of assets, child support, and spousal support, an uncontested divorce is the fastest and most affordable way to move forward. 

To proceed with an uncontested divorce in Alberta, the following basic requirements must be met:

• Residency – At least one spouse must have resided in Alberta for one year before filing.
• Separation – A minimum one-year separation or proof of adultery or cruelty.
• Documentation – The completion and filing of necessary divorce forms required by the Alberta Courts
• Marriage Certificate – Submission of the government-issued marriage certificate is mandatory if the marriage took place within Canada
