At DivorceEasy, we simplify the separation agreement process by providing expert guidance to help you fairly divide assets, arrange child and spousal support, and ensure legal compliance with Alberta family law.
DivorceEasy assists both parties in jointly completing a separation agreement and provides each spouse with independent legal advice to ensure that the process is completed smoothly and efficiently. Rather than requiring individuals to seek out various services separately, DivorceEasy offers a comprehensive, one-stop solution, managing the entire process for both spouses.
A Separation Agreement is required when couples want to settle important matters after a relationship breakdown, such as assets, debts, pensions, businesses, support, and parenting. Divorce Easy works with both parties jointly to prepare a fair and balanced agreement—unlike the traditional approach where one lawyer drafts and the other reviews. We arrange Independent Legal Advice (ILA) for both parties through trusted third-party lawyers to ensure the agreement is legally binding in Alberta.
Our fixed-fee structure is based on what needs to be settled, and we handle the entire process from start to finish, saving you time, money, and stress.
Key areas where a Separation Agreement is needed:
In order to create a Separation Agreement in Alberta, the terms being settled must be agreeable by both parties – and if matters cannot be resolved, we can assist the parties in coming to a mutual resolution through Mediation.
An alternative to completing a Separation Agreement is to complete a “Consent Property Order” – this is typically an option if there are minimal finances that need to be taken care of. It is a document that is completed and signed by both parties, filed at court and once granted, becomes a court order.
Separation Agreements are not mandatory to complete in order to file for a divorce in Alberta. Therefore, if you are looking to finalize your divorce and protect/divide any property matters, then we can complete these orders for you at the same time. Completing a property order through the courts is an inexpensive and speedy resolve to ensure you have taken care of your property matters in the most effective and protective way. Consent property orders may not require the need to obtain independent legal advice.
If you have completed a legal separation agreement or consent property order, it can be incorporated into finalizing the divorce decree.
Whether going through a separation or not, if you and your spouse are ready to address child support in an open and amicable way, we are an alternative to going through child support services in Alberta or the court system. We can help you obtain a court child support order along with a court parenting order quickly and affordably.
We help both parties divide assets and debts in a way that is fair and legally sound. If property division is complex, we can help you navigate these issues to reach an equitable solution.
We create clear and detailed parenting arrangements and child support guidelines to ensure that both parties are on the same page for the well-being of the children.
Our team helps determine fair and reasonable spousal support arrangements based on income, length of marriage, and other relevant factors.
We provide guidance to ensure your separation agreement is fair, valid, and legally enforceable. We work with third-party legal experts if needed to ensure compliance with family law.
We work with both parties to create personalized agreements that reflect their unique situation, priorities, and needs. Every separation is different, and we ensure the outcome works for both sides.
Many people assume that a self-written agreement is enough—but in most cases, it’s not legally enforceable. Which is why we get frequent calls from individuals who drafted their own agreements and simply want them notarized. Unfortunately, without proper legal steps in place, these documents often can’t hold up in court. Under Alberta’s Family Property Act, a court, (as well as any financial institution and pension administrator) has the power to void a Separation Agreement or any part of it if:
