If you and your spouse can agree on how to divide your property, custody, and support, you don't need to engage in an expensive courtroom battle. We assist couples in Alberta in completing the necessary paperwork and administrative steps for a straightforward, uncontested divorce—often referred to as a cooperative divorce, bench divorce, or desk divorce—at a fraction of traditional lawyer fees. Our services provide an affordable separation with a quick turnaround divorce, ensuring a smooth process for both parties.
Our services are designed to ensure that your bench/desk divorce proceeds smoothly with a focus on accurate paperwork, efficient filing, and clear instructions. We provide affordable separation solutions that simplify the process:
Complete document preparation — We handle the preparation and filing of essential documents for an uncontested divorce in Alberta, including divorce applications, separation agreements, parenting plans, sworn affidavits, and other necessary court forms.
Household inventory & exhibits — Our team prepares itemized household inventories (with replacement and/or fair-market values) and appends exhibits commonly required by courts for property division, making your cooperative divorce easier.
Form review & quality check — We meticulously review all documents for completeness and consistency, ensuring that there are no avoidable delays at the court, which is especially important for those seeking a quick turnaround divorce.
Filing guidance — We guide you through the filing fees, where to submit documents, and what to expect at each step of the process, including the moment a judge will sign the order for your flat rate divorce.
Mediation & arbitration referrals — If you require a mediator or private arbitrator for any remaining issues, we assist in arranging this and preparing the necessary documents.
Optional add-ons — We offer expedited document preparation, certified copies, detailed inventory reports with store/source pricing, and notarization/commissioner services to complement your uncontested divorce experience.
Plain-English support — We provide clear explanations for each form, detailing what to sign and which documents you should retain for your records.
Q: How long does a bench divorce take?
A: Timelines vary by court and caseload. Once all documents are correct and both parties have signed, a bench divorce typically proceeds faster than a contested hearing. We help you move through each administrative step as quickly as the court permits, making your path to an affordable separation smoother.
Q: What documents will I need?
A: IDs, marriage certificate, separation agreement (if applicable), child and financial information, and the household inventory if property is being divided. We’ll provide you with a tailored checklist on intake to ensure a quick turnaround divorce process.
Q: We can’t agree on everything — can you still help?
A: If only small outstanding issues remain, mediation or arbitration may resolve them, allowing for a cooperative divorce. We can help arrange and document those outcomes. If the matter is highly contested or legally complex, especially in cases of an uncontested divorce, we will recommend you consult a family lawyer.
Q: Are you lawyers?
A: No. We are administrative specialists who prepare and organize court-ready documents for a flat rate divorce service. We do not provide legal advice or appear in court on your behalf.
