Castle & Associates is noted for its innovative work in cases involving same-sex couples and their families in Alberta.
In the absence of a legal marriage, the respective rights of spouses upon the breakdown of a relationship are often in dispute.
Family relationships, including marriages and common law partnerships, are based on personal commitment.
Loving and devoted parents want, and deserve, appropriate time with their children. When relationships end, the terms of custody and access are a priority for parents.
Following a divorce or separation, parents are required to provide financial support to their children.
When partners are married or living together, expenses and assets are usually shared.
Domestic relationships, including marriages and common law commitments, are largely viewed by the law as economic arrangements.
The lawyers at Castle & Associates in Calgary are pleased to help adoptive parents in the entirety of the adoption process so they can devote their full time and energy to welcoming their new family member.
Family relationships are often complicated. In Alberta, as in all parts of Canada, government agencies become involved in the welfare of children.
All family law matters, including divorce, separation and guardianship, inevitably have a direct impact on the children involved.
In many child welfare cases, the role of grandparents is significant. Grandparents may offer care to a child who is no longer living with his or her biological parents.
The Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act (AGTA) provides several specific options for family members and those who care about the adult in question to support or replace the adult's decision-making.
When an adult is unable to make independent personal care and financial decisions, a trusted representative may be appointed to make choices on his or her behalf.
Increasingly, the law has recognized the need to protect and enforce the key role elder individuals play in our society.
We are proponents of having wills, enduring powers of attorney and personal directives. We help clients draft these documents and to understand their implications. We also advise on probate and estate administration.
We are a firm of courtroom lawyers. We are qualified, through our knowledge and extensive experience, to litigate family law cases in well-established legal areas. We also break new ground in our litigation work, through appearing at the Court of Appeal in Alberta in unique cases.
