Filing for an Affordable Divorce

July 3, 2012 - PRLog -- Calgary, AB – Getting a divorce in Calgary or Edmonton isn’t always the easiest thing to do.  First, you have to consider the cost of hiring good Canadian divorce lawyers to handle your case.  But the cost isn’t the only thing you have to be concerned about, as there also is the matter of making sure you get a fair deal when the time comes to settle.   And you also have to think about your family, especially if you have children.  Custody arrangement is one of the most difficult parts of filing for divorce in Alberta, not only because you have to decide on visitation rights and child support payments, among others, but also because of the indelible effect divorce can have on a child.  There are myriad other considerations when filing for an Alberta divorce, but those mentioned are the most important.

However, filing for an affordable divorce in Alberta can be made easier if you take care of the first consideration above before everything else.  You want the right Calgary divorce lawyer or Edmonton divorce lawyer on your side – somebody who charges reasonable rates and is knowledgeable about his or her legal specialization.  When looking for divorce lawyers in Edmonton or Calgary, the first thing you need to do is check the Internet or your telephone directory.  Ask for hourly price quotes - $200-250 an hour or less would be fairly reasonable.  Ask other interview questions – how long have they been practicing, what important divorce cases have they won, what can they do to ensure you don’t get cheated at divorce court.  You might want to make a checklist and see which lawyer or law firm emerges with the most check marks.  This way, you can effectively separate the wheat from the chaff and make a more informed decision before filing for divorce in Calgary, Edmonton, or anywhere else in Alberta.

In addition to searching for experienced and knowledgeable legal representatives, you should also look for lawyers who actually specialize in divorce.  Filing for an affordable divorce is all well and good if your money isn’t wasted in the process.  Some individuals filing for divorce in Alberta go with the cheapest general practitioner available.  Usually, there should be no problem with these lawyers, but they often turn out to be “jack of all trades” types who fall short in skills compared to actual divorce lawyers.  Calgary, Edmonton or Alberta divorces are best filed if you have a true divorce and custody expert on your side.

Hardly anybody wants to go through a divorce, even if it is one of those so-called “good” divorces where both parties remain friends and spend equal time with their children, if any.  The emotional and financial stress can take its toll on you, your partner, your job and your other loved ones involved in the case.  But if you can file for an affordable divorce and get some positive closure when the dust has all cleared, that can save you a lot of money, not to mention a lot of stress and headaches, before and after your divorce in Alberta.
