The short response is - that depends.
If you have an uncontested divorce, often the answer is no.
However, if you and your spouse have one or more areas of disagreement on the division of matrimonial assets or liabilities, custody, access or support of the children of the marriage, or any other item, you may have a contested divorce. A contested divorce is most often resolved only by time, or with the assistance of a family or divorce lawyer, mediator, or a combination thereof.
If you have an uncontested Alberta divorce, you can use the services of a paralegal service or divorce service. It is important that you do your homework with these service providers; the same is true in choosing a lawyer. Seek out a paralegal firm or divorce service company with a stellar reputation of professionalism, experience, responsiveness, and who completes your uncontested divorce in three to six months after you have provided all the information requested to prepare your divorce documents.
Finally, ensure the provider is a local company.
