As a chartered mediator, I assist clients wanting to separate or divorce by providing options including the divorce application and filing with the courts.

ments, court orders, and divorce applications by expertly handling the division of matrimonial assets, calculating child and spousal support, and crafting tailored parenting plans that suit each family's unique dynamics.

As a mediator, Carlene encourages participants to truly listen to one another, to connect and be strong working through their issues.

Having personally experienced the detrimental effects of the adversarial legal system on families and financial well-being, Carlene is committed to helping clients achieve resolutions that pave the way for a new chapter in their lives. As an accomplished educator at the university level in finance, mediation, and negotiation, Carlene brings a balanced and equitable approach to conflict resolution.

This is a very concise read as to the difference between a mediator and lawyer. While the author is in the US and some of the terminology in Canada is slightly different, it is an excellent read.

Let me know if you have any questions.

The mediator is non-coercive. Participating in mediation is voluntary – it takes two to tango. If one person cannot or will not participate for any reason, there is no mediation – and therefore, no role for the mediator.

Last week a client told me that they needed their separation agreement updated as their incomes had changed and they needed to revise child support (section 3). As you may be aware - Parties with dependent children (those under 18 or attending full time post secondary school) are required to exchange their tax information by June 1st of each year.

What many people do not realize is that the separation agreement (while amendments can be made to it), typically doesn't require changing. If Parties are divorced, or in the case of a common law couple have an order for child support and parenting, then these need to be updated, so that the can be enforced by MEP (maintenance enforcement programme).

Why is it a good idea to review child support and parenting annually? Simple answer - life changes, and the child support guidelines are intended to reflect the parenting time allocated to each parent (monthly support) and the children's interests (Special and Extraordinary Expenses - section 7).

Have you had any challenges in recalculating child support?

Facing separation and divorce? We are here to help. Did you know that a separation agreement is not legally required in Alberta? Many people want a separation agreement for their own reasons, and financial institutions require them for financing.

If you and your spouse are in agreement on the division of property, then rather than a separation agreement (which the Family Property Act s37 and s38 indicates that Independent Legal Advice is required), many people have a consent order completed. It's faster and less expensive and it's a court ordered document that is binding. Give us a call 780-710-7355 - we are here to help or send us a message.

In Alberta there are three "grounds" for divorce. Most divorces are filed on the grounds of 12 months of separation (I would estimate 87%), however there are two other grounds that the court will accept as reasons for divorce.

They are adultery and cruelty. In these cases, the perpetrator (person committing the adultery or cruelty) must sign an affidavit to that effect.

Don't Panic.

Adultery happens and sometimes Parties don't want to wait for 12 months of separation and wish to have their divorce application completed and filed with the court NOW.

We can help. Reach out to [email protected] to find out how we can help or call or text 780-710-7355. Thank you.

There are many aspects to ending a relationship including the formal step of the divorce application to the court. Most people don't want or need the stress of hiring individual lawyers, or have time to waste.

Some of the issues that require resolution include parenting plans, child support, spousal support and the division of family property.

We can help with separation agreements, consent orders, application to the court for divorce, title transfers, completion of forms for CPP, CRA.

Please reach out (call or text) 780-710-7355 to set up a no obligation consultation.

Every day, at least one person reaches out and asks the question, "Where do I start?" The question is usually followed by I have decided, or we have decided to end the relationship.

There are three ways to go through separation and divorce. You can do it yourself, hire someone to help that can work with you and you trust (like a mediator) or each of you can hire a family lawyer.

How you approach it, will depend on your personal situation and if you can work with your partner through the process.

It's important to remember that young or old, married or common law - there are four issues to be decided. If you can't or won't decide, the courts can decide for you (albeit it's a long and very expensive process). The four issues are 1) property (including assets (house, condo, lake property, commercial property, savings, RRSP's, pensions, etc.) and liabilities (credit card, student debt, mortgages, lines of credit, personal loans, etc.) 2) child support (section 3 and section 7) 3) parenting (how will the children spend their time, what about school vacation, child care, schooling, etc.) and 4) spousal support

There is a lot to consider and I invite you to reach out if you have questions or I can help you on this journey. With the right guidance, you can get through this doing what's best for you, your spouse and children.
