Family law in Alberta: what to know

Alberta's Limitations Act sets a basic two-year limitation period for most claims, with exceptions. Speak to a lawyer early so that a deadline does not run out.

How to choose a family law lawyer in Calgary

  1. Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta.
  2. Ask how much of their practice is family law, and how recent their experience is with cases like yours.
  3. Compare the Google rating together with the number of reviews, not the rating alone.
  4. Read recent reviews for comments on communication and responsiveness.
  5. Ask for the fee structure in writing before you sign, including what is billed separately.
  6. Meet with more than one firm if the matter is large, and trust the one that explains your options clearly.

Questions to ask at your first consultation

What to bring

How the process usually works

  1. You explain your situation and your goals.
  2. The lawyer advises on rights and options and sets out a plan.
  3. Financial and other information is exchanged.
  4. Settlement is explored through negotiation or mediation.
  5. If needed, the matter proceeds to court for a decision.

Costs and fees

Family lawyers usually require an upfront retainer and bill hourly. Ask how fees change if the case settles early, and whether limited-scope help is offered. Ask about disbursements (third-party costs), taxes, and what happens if your matter changes in scope. Many firms offer a first consultation, but confirm whether it is free.
