Navigating high-net-worth divorce in Alberta presents unique challenges beyond typical separations.
Valuing and dividing substantial assets like businesses, investments, and real estate requires specialized expertise. Understanding tax implications and pre-existing financial agreements is crucial.
Determining spousal support in these cases demands careful analysis of lifestyle and earning potential. Privacy concerns and the need for discretion are of the utmost importance. When children are involved, parenting arrangements can be more complex. Engaging experienced legal counsel is essential when it comes to protecting your interests.
A couple is generally considered separated when at least one spouse states that they wish to end the relationship and the spouses begin living separate and apart with no reasonable chance of reconciling. In some circumstances, spouses may be considered to live separate and apart while still residing in the same home.
Under Alberta’s Divorce Act, a divorce can only be granted if there has been a breakdown of the marriage. Most often, this breakdown is established once the couple has lived separate and apart for at least one year. Less commonly, a divorce may be granted in less than a year on the basis of adultery or cruelty.
Most divorces do not require a trial and are resolved by negotiation between the parties or another form of alternative dispute resolution, such as family mediation or arbitration. A court hearing, such as an application/motion or trial, may be required when a couple is unable to resolve an outstanding issue through less formal means.
