Complexity of the Legal System
The Alberta legal system is a complicated configuration that individuals must contend with including: deciding the level of court a matter could proceed in, specific requirements in place that need to be complied with prior to attending court, legal issues that are divided and can only be heard in very specific legal venues, and substantial procedural and substantive hurdles that are regularly unforeseen.
This complexity leaves individuals in many cases with considerable questions regarding the fundamentals on how to proceed. In family cases, it is essential that individuals obtain legal information and advice at the outset to help guide their legal matter.
Without pivotal advice at the outset, clients who find themselves several months already into a separation are often surprised and frustrated with what has taken place and the outcomes that cannot then be undone.
It is in your best interest to obtain legal information and advice at the outset of your legal matter, with detailed knowledge of the options that are before you so that you can plan effectively.
Do you really want to proceed in litigation?
Family legal cases are rarely well served in extensive litigation. In family law, litigation often creates further barriers to move matters to resolution, by taking months and years to resolve.
Litigation also takes on a winner and loser mentality which even more problematically often results in a loser and loser situation for both parties. Nothing is more frustrating to individuals to see their matter fractured with no potential resolution on the horizon as they are entrenched in litigation.
It is critical that for your legal matter you retain a skilled family lawyer with litigation and mediation skills who then understands how to listen and achieve your strategic goals.
This family lawyer with mediation training then should work to keep your legal matter out of litigation whenever possible. This does not mean avoiding difficult topics, or not seeing further advancement in your case, but rather, working with you to create a strategic plan that is a strong alternative to litigation.
