Family law encompasses the body of legal statutes and case law that governs familial relationships. These include marriage, divorce, child custody, financial obligations, and domestic protections.
Gigera Law Services is distinctively positioned to handle these complexities. Our family law services cover a wide spectrum of legal issues, with particular sensitivity to cultural values, family structures, and religious contexts in each country.
In Alberta, family law operates under both provincial legislation (Family Law Act) and federal law (Divorce Act, Canada). Here, family law addresses both common-law and married couples, and the legal system emphasizes cooperative parenting and equitable distribution.
Our services in Calgary include:
Filing for contested or uncontested divorce
Applying for sole or joint custody
Securing or adjusting support under federal guidelines
Dividing matrimonial property fairly
Enforcing emergency protection orders under the Protection Against Family Violence Act
We work directly with Alberta Courts and collaborate with mediators, psychologists, and financial advisors to help clients achieve results that protect their rights and family bonds.
UK family law, governed by the Children Act 1989, Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, and Family Law Act 1996, seeks to prioritize the welfare of children while ensuring fairness in financial matters.
