Most people don’t think about speaking to a lawyer until life suddenly gets complicated.

Over the years, we’ve noticed the same legal questions come up again and again - from separation and child custody to wills, estates, and what actually happens when someone passes away without one.

The surprising part? The answers usually aren’t what people expect.

We put together 5 of the most common legal questions we hear from people in Beaumont and across Alberta - along with straightforward answers that may help you avoid costly mistakes later.

The link is in our bio.

"I lost my job. Can I just stop paying child support?"

No. Arrears accumulate, MEP can suspend your license and garnish accounts, and you could face contempt of court.

What Counts as Material Change
Involuntary job loss, income reduction, disability, or legitimate retraining all qualify. Quitting voluntarily or taking lower-paying work to avoid support doesn't. Courts look at why your income changed.

How to Request Modification
Document everything immediately - ROE, EI application, job search efforts. Notify your ex in writing. File for variation within weeks, not months. Keep paying something based on EI income.

What Not to Do
Don't stop paying, ignore MEP letters, or hide employment. Every day you delay adds arrears at the full amount.

The Income Imputation Trap
Courts base support on what you should earn, not what you are. Stop job searching and your old salary may still be used in calculations.

Timeline Matters
File three months late and you owe three months of full arrears. Job loss is grounds for modification - but only if you act immediately.

How Jaswal Law Helps
We file emergency variation applications within weeks, handle all documentation, and protect you from income imputation. Consultation within days, relief requested immediately before arrears pile up.

Knowledge is power, and legal knowledge is financial independence, family protection, and control over your own future.

At Jaswal Law, we're proud to be led by Principal Lawyer Shilpa Jaswal, who has built a practice focused on empowering families - especially women navigating life's most challenging transitions.

Legal knowledge every woman should have:

Understanding your property rights in relationships. In Alberta, married spouses have equal rights to matrimonial property, but common - law partners face very different rules. Knowing the distinction protects your financial future.

Knowing what you're entitled to during separation. Spousal support, child support, and property division follow specific legal principles. Understanding your rights means you can negotiate from knowledge, not vulnerability.

Having financial autonomy through proper legal documents. Powers of attorney and personal directives ensure you maintain control, even during incapacity.

Protecting your assets through estate planning. Women statistically outlive men, making comprehensive estate and incapacity planning especially critical.

Why all of this matters:

Women are more likely to experience financial vulnerability during divorce, often taking career breaks for childcare. Women are more likely to be primary caregivers, making parenting arrangements critically important. Legal knowledge levels the playing field.

At Jaswal Law, we believe in empowering clients through education, not intimidation. We explain legal concepts in plain language, answer questions without judgment, and treat every client with dignity and respect.

To the women navigating divorce, planning estates, buying homes, and protecting their families - you're stronger than you know, and we're here to support you. 💜

Alberta's new Family Focused Protocol (FFP) came into effect January 2, 2026, requiring most parties in family law disputes to attempt alternative dispute resolution before proceeding to court.

If you're going through a separation, divorce, or custody matter right now, this likely applies to you.

Not every family law matter requires FFP compliance, but most do.

FFP APPLIES to:
✅ Divorce proceedings
✅ Parenting arrangements and custody disputes
✅ Child support matters
✅ Spousal support claims
✅ Property division cases
✅ Modification of existing orders

FFP EXEMPTIONS (May Not Apply):
❌ Cases involving family violence or safety concerns
❌ Emergency protection orders
❌ Urgent child protection matters
❌ Some enforcement proceedings
❌ Cases where one party cannot participate meaningfully

Important: Even if you think you qualify for an exemption, don't assume. The court decides whether FFP requirements apply to your specific circumstances.

Why This Matters:
Starting your family law case without understanding FFP requirements can delay your proceedings by months. If you skip required mediation and go straight to court, judges will likely send you back to attempt resolution first – wasting valuable time and money.

Consult with an experienced family lawyer who understands FFP requirements from day one. We'll assess whether your case requires compliance and guide you through the most efficient path forward.
