Family Law Project Overview
Spousal Support
Child Support
Child Guardianship, Custody and Access
ALRI has undertaken a project to address the short-comings of the current legislation affecting Family Law in our province. The recommendations are intended to modernize, rationalize and consolidate Alberta family law. Providing a clear, sound, contemporary legislative framework should assist decision making by courts, litigants and other persons dealing with family law matters. Our recommendations, if implemented will bring family law in Alberta more closely into line with the federal Divorce Act and legislation in other provinces.
