When am I considered legally “separated” from my spouse/adult interdependent partner?

A couple is typically considered "separated" when one spouse expresses the intent to end the relationship, and the spouses start living "separate and apart" with no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. In certain situations, spouses may be deemed to live separately and apart even while residing in the same household.

Do I have to go to trial to get divorced?

Most divorces are resolved without a trial, often through negotiation between the parties or alternative dispute resolution methods such as family mediation or arbitration. However, if the couple cannot resolve an unresolved issue through these informal processes, a court hearing, such as an application, motion, or trial, may be necessary.

Can my partner and I be considered to be in an adult interdependent relationship if our relationship is not sexual or romantic?

Yes, under Alberta’s Adult Interdependent Relationships Act, two platonic friends can be recognized as common-law partners if they are in a relationship of interdependence or have entered into an Adult Interdependent Partnership Agreement.

Am I always entitled to 50% of my spouse/adult interdependent partner's assets?

Generally, the courts will try to be as equitable as possible, however, it will depend on the unique circumstance of your relationship. If you are unsure about what you are entitled to, contact one of our experts at Skyline Legal Group LLP for consultation.
