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.

Spousal Support
Report
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.
Child Support Law
Report
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.
Realestate Law
Report
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.
Wills and Estate Planning
Report
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.
