Keystone Legal advises and represents clients throughout Alberta in separation and divorce, the division of family property, child and spousal support, parenting, and the agreements that settle these questions before they become disputes. Much of the work involves property that is not simple to divide: a business or a professional practice, a farm or land held in a family corporation, inherited property, pensions and holdings in more than one name. Those files turn on financial disclosure and valuation, and the firm instructs the valuators and accountants that make the figures reliable.
Most family matters end in an agreement, a mediated settlement or a consent order, and they settle on sound terms when the file has been prepared as though it would go to trial. Where the other side will not disclose or will not negotiate on the true figures, the firm applies to the Court and carries the file to a hearing. Contested matters proceed at the Calgary Courts Centre, where counsel appears in person, and in Edmonton through agent counsel acting on the firm’s instructions. Advice, agreements and uncontested divorces are available anywhere in Alberta, by secure video, with meetings in Cochrane or Calgary on request.
