In Canada Divorce is governed by the Divorce Act. Often divorce is dealt with in conjunction with the Matrimonial Property Act of Alberta by filing a Statement of Claim for Divorce and Division of Property. Without an Enduring Power of Attorney a relative or friend would have to make a Court Application in order to be appointed your Trustee if you are incapacitated.

Services
Unlike child support, spousal support can be confusing, uncertain, and largely based on the discretion of judges. While the divorce act provides guidance in what factors are to be used in determining spousal support, the courts, and in particular the Supreme Court of Canada have made considerable and sometimes confusing rulings that the courts look to.
The Divorce Act and the Family Law Act of Alberta govern child support. Under the Family Law Act every parent has an obligation to provide support to his or her child. Generally, support will stop when a child reaches the age of 18 unless, the child is enrolled full-time in a post secondary educational institution.
The fees for your lawyer's own services. Disbursements - expenses incurred by the lawyer as part of your sale or purchase - examples: land title fees, couriers, tax and title searches. GST is payable on the fees. A portion of the year's property taxes which are credited to the Seller if the Seller has already paid them, or credited to the Buyer if the Buyer will be required to pay them.
Without an Enduring Power of Attorney a relative or friend would have to make a Court Application in order to be appointed your Trustee if you are incapacitated. This can be a costly and time consuming process. Under the Power of Attorney's Act of Alberta, you can appoint an individual or Trust Company (the "Attorney") to act in connection with your financial affairs.

Mr. Olesen was a Godsend. He took a very difficult and stressful situation and made the process as painless as it could be. He assisted me in maintaining focus on the end goal reminding me that allowing emotions to dictate actions would not be conducive to a speedy and productive resolution. In my first call to Mr. Olesen, he told me not to stress nor worry, that he would take that on for me. He delivered exactly what he promised. I would and have recommended Mr. Olesen to my friends.

I contacted Mr Olesen to discuss family law services, in particular a separation agreement/divorce. He took the time to listen, explain things thoroughly, explain pros/cons and explored all options, trying to find the best outcome and protect me. Done in a timely manner. He is very professional. Very thorough, would recommend to family and friends.

If your looking for family law services specifically child custody i would look elsewhere.
I wish i had read the other reviews about how Olesen Law deals with family law issues before retaining their services. My case was more or less outsourced to another firm. Olesen Law was recommended by my EFAP program and as such i had no qualms with it as all of their previous recommendations (different legal services) had been great.
Over a year later and i feel like my case is actually further behind then when i originally hired them.
Olesen Law's billing practices leave a lot to be desired, i had requested

My mother is elderly and no longer wanted to deal with her financial affairs, and wanted to get all her legal documents such as a will, a power of attorney, and a living will in order so that I could help her look after everything. Mr Olesen was very helpful in suggesting the best way to look after matters, and made sure that this was infact my mother's wishes and not something we had pushed upon her. My mother found Mr Olesen pleasant to work with and very knowledgeable in these areas of law. An added bonus was Mr Olesen came to my mothers residence rather than having to travel to his office which

I was referred to Lee Olesen through my workplace as I was going through a very painful and emotional separation. I had no idea of my rights and entitlements and was in desperate need of advice, representation and someone to talk to both legally and emotionally in order to clear my mind and reduce my stress and worry. Mr Olesen was this person. His professionalism, experience, and willingness to help me get things settled was above and beyond. He truly cared about the outcome of my situation and helped me understand the legal terms and documents I was reading and signing. I am extremely grateful
