Spousal support refers to support payments made from one spouse to another after a separation or divorce. At our law firm, we have family lawyers who offer counsel and legal advice on spousal support matters, ensuring your rights and interests are upheld. These payments help compensate for income disparity and the sacrifices made during the relationship.

Partner support involves support payments made from one interdependent adult partner to another after a separation. Our Edmonton lawyers can advise you on whether you qualify for partner support under Alberta law, helping you navigate any agreements or litigation that may arise.

Both spousal and partner support aim to:

• Compensate a spouse or partner who cared for children or sacrificed earning potential.
• Provide financial assistance to the lower earner facing a difficult time post-separation.

Our knowledgeable team at Bhardwaj+CO helps Edmonton clients draft or negotiate agreements that reflect these objectives, ensuring compliance with Alberta law.

Typically, the higher income earner pays spousal support or partner support. Our law firm offers legal advice and representation to help you understand your obligations, defend your rights, and facilitate compliance with the court if disputes arise.

Lawyers often use the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines to determine fair support. Factors include each party’s income, the length of the relationship, and child custody arrangements. As an Edmonton law firm with extensive experience, we provide tailored counsel that aligns with court standards and your unique case.

An Emergency Protection Order (EPO) restricts access to a home or person in situations of immediate danger. Any family member—including legally married or common-law spouses and children—can apply for an EPO. Our Edmonton lawyers can guide you through the court application process, offering representation and advice to safeguard your safety.

Spousal support is ongoing financial aid from one former spouse to the other, typically awarded upon separation or divorce. Any spouse can apply if they meet the criteria under Alberta law. We have a knowledgeable team at our Edmonton office ready to help you understand the agreements or litigation process involved in spousal support cases.

• Child Custody / Parenting Order: Determines which partner or parent has primary decision-making responsibilities and the schedule for caring for children. Even if children live mostly with one parent, both may still share key decisions around schooling, religion, and medical safety.
• Access Time: Refers to the set times or days the non-primary caretaker spends with the child(ren).

A separation agreement is a legally binding contract that covers property division, child support, spousal support, and cohabitation agreements or prenuptial agreements. It helps both parties avoid extended litigation in court. Our legal team in Edmonton can draft and review agreements to ensure clarity and compliance with Alberta law.

You should seek legal counsel for child support issues when:

• Establishing a new support arrangement
• Modifying an existing agreement
• Enforcing a court order
• Resolving disputes regarding payment amounts

Our Edmonton lawyers at Bhardwaj+CO deliver quality service, guiding you through the legal challenges and protecting your children’s best interests.
