Professional Guidance On Family Law, Divorce And Common Law Matters

At some point, most families will need to seek legal advice as they work through life-altering changes. The calibre of legal help you receive during such times can have a significant impact not only on the eventual outcome of your family matter, but also on whether the process itself is a positive one.

At Bruce & Birklein Law, we believe that your family deserves high-quality legal advice combined with the care and sensitivity you need to make it successfully through distressing times.

Supporting You Through A Relationship Breakdown

If your marriage, same-sex relationship or adult interdependent (common law) relationship has reached its end, you are likely to feel bewildered by numerous concerns and questions, such as:

  • What is the difference between separation and divorce?
  • What are your options, what steps are involved and how long will it take?
  • How will property and debts be divided?
  • Do the same laws apply for cohabiting and same-sex couples?
  • How does the court determine child custody and access arrangements?
  • How can you gain fair treatment for child support and alimony?

Our lawyers can answer these and any other questions you have. We have helped many families in Calgary, Alberta, and surrounding areas through separation, divorce and the legal system.

Our approach is to combine legal problem-solving with a personal interest in each client. We will take the time to listen to your side and help you weigh all your options. As a lawyer, accredited mediator and experienced dispute resolution professional, Brenda M. Birklein can help you find the best method to meet your goals while saving time, expense and emotional turmoil.

We also provide advice and drafting services for a variety of family law agreements.
