Family Law

The stress of dealing with the breakdown of a relationship is enough to unsettle anyone. Whether you are trying to work out decision-making, parenting time, financial support, or a division of family property, let one of our experienced family lawyers assist you.

At Schnell Hardy Jones LLP, we focus on finding the best solutions for your family law disputes. Our family lawyers participate in both litigation-based proceedings, as well as the collaborative family law process to ensure a resolution process that matches the needs of each client. They can also assist you with adoption matters and planning for the future with cohabitation/prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for your peace of mind.

As our family lawyers are members of the Association of Collaborative Lawyers of Central Alberta, they can assist clients through the collaborative law process.
