The breakdown of a relationship or marriage can be emotional, complex, and challenging, especially for children. Disputes often arise when former partners have conflicting priorities or ideas about the best solutions for their family.
Luminary Legal Practice will walk you through all available options, ensuring you understand the child custody and parenting process and feel confident with any decisions made.
Custody (decision-making) and parenting time are distinct. Custody refers to decision-making authority for the child, while parenting time refers to the time each parent spends with the child.
Custody can be joint or sole, with decisions made collaboratively or by one parent alone. Parenting time can be primary, shared, or split, depending on the arrangement that best suits the family’s needs.
Our role is to explore all options and develop an effective strategy to present your case. We ensure you understand the risks of any chosen action and provide comprehensive support throughout court proceedings, representing your interests and advocating for your rights.
Several laws impact child custody and parenting proceedings. Having an experienced lawyer ensures you understand how these laws affect your case and helps you navigate the legal process.
Relevant laws include the federal Divorce Act, Alberta’s Family Law Act, and any Parens Patriae jurisdiction imposed by family courts. With Luminary Legal Practice, you receive the support needed to make informed decisions and present a strong case to the courts.
