When the sad reality of everyday cohabitation hits you...😅 Real life isn't always what you envision.

That perspective can change the conversation around a marriage agreement. A cohabitation agreement or marriage agreement, sometimes called a prenuptial agreement, can ensure you and your interests are protected in case you ever need an exit plan.

✏️ Back-to-School Season: A Family Law Perspective

As summer winds down and kids head back to school, many separated and divorced parents find themselves managing a new set of scheduling challenges:

📚 Parenting schedules often shift once school starts. Make sure your Parenting Plan reflects the new routine.
📚 School pick-ups, drop-offs, and extracurricular activities should be clearly outlined to avoid last-minute conflicts.
📚 In both Alberta and BC, courts and mediators strongly encourage parents to communicate early about schooling decisions, including school choice and extracurricular costs.

Why does dissent matter in court, and in society?

In his article, family lawyer Myron Plett explores how the freedom to challenge outdated thinking has helped shape family law for the better, including a recent BC Court of Appeal decision that confronted long-standing myths about family violence. 💙

Myron's full article explores this topic in greater depth, from personal reflection to legal analysis to a call for protecting the institutions that allow dissent to thrive.

📝 New School Year, New Parenting Communication Tools

It's back to school soon! To make the school year easier for everyone, here are a few co-parenting tips:
📱 Consider using a co-parenting app to track schedules, expenses, and important school information
📱 Share school contact information, teacher emails, and important dates with both parents in writing
📱 If your Parenting Plan includes provisions about communication methods, make sure both parents are following them consistently
📱 Clear, documented communication helps prevent misunderstandings and protects you if disputes arise later

Back-to-school season is here, and so are the questions about who pays for what. 💸

If you're a separated or divorced parent, you might be wondering whether school fees, extracurriculars, or tutoring costs are covered under child support (or whether they fall into a separate category altogether). Spoiler: they often do.

Under the Federal Child Support Guidelines, these are known as Section 7 expenses, and they're typically shared proportionally based on income, not split 50/50.

Swipe through to learn:
✅ What's already covered by child support
✅ What counts as a Section 7 expense
✅ How these costs are actually divided
✅ How to avoid conflict before September hits

A little clarity now can save a lot of stress later.

Your ex is not your friend right now (even if they're being "nice" about it), and that agreement they slid across the table? It's written to protect THEM, not you. We've seen people sign away custody, assets, and support they were fully entitled to just because they wanted the process to be "easier." Please, please have a family lawyer look at anything before you put your signature on it.

One conversation with us could save you years of regret. Follow for more family law content!

📝 Fact-check: While the age of majority is 18 in Alberta and 19 in BC, child support in both provinces does not automatically terminate when a child comes of age. In both Alberta and BC, parents may be required to continue contributing to a child's support well into their adult years depending on the circumstances.

Before assuming your child support obligation ends at 18 (or 19), speak with a family lawyer to understand your ongoing responsibilities.

Today is National Financial Awareness Day, and there's no better time to talk about how closely your financial wellbeing and your family law matters are connected. 💙

📊 Know Your Full Financial Picture: Before any separation or divorce negotiation, it's critical to have a clear understanding of your assets, debts, income, and expenses. This knowledge puts you in a stronger position to advocate for a fair outcome.

💼 Understand Support Obligations: Whether you're paying or receiving child support or spousal support, understanding how these amounts are calculated (and how they impact your budget) is key to planning your financial future with confidence.

🏠 Property Division Requires Documentation: Dividing property fairly requires clear financial records. The more organized you are, the smoother (and less costly) this process tends to be.

📈 Financial Disclosure Is Not Optional: In family law, full and honest financial disclosure is a legal requirement, not a suggestion. Failing to disclose can lead to serious legal consequences and delays in your case.

🔒 Protect Your Future Earnings: Whether through a Cohabitation Agreement, Prenuptial Agreement, or Separation Agreement, understanding your financial rights early can protect what you build, now and in the future.
