"I can not thank you enough for making this process easier then anticipated. You are genuine and lovely and I appreciate your professionalism and also they way you have eased my fears when I shared them to you."
Calgary family law client of Heather Fraese
I had an outstanding experience working with my lawyer Brandi Aymont. With the assistance of her paralegal Devonna McFarlane, they prepared my cohabitation agreement. They were knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly, making what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and comfortable…

“I want to thank you. I hired you because you emphasized mediation, and I kept on hiring you in the face of one of my brothers and one of my friends insisting I hire a "bulldog" to counter (my ex’s) "bulldog." I'm glad I ignored their advice.”

Brandi took very good care of me all the way through the whole process. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and made every effort to make sure my son was taken care of and we got a fair deal. I have recommended her to several friends and will continue to recommend her.

How to Calculate Child Support in Alberta
Alberta child support is calculated using the Federal Child Support Guidelines and gross parental income. If children live with only one of their parents, only the income of the paying parent is taken into consideration. If the children live with each parent approximately the same amount of time, child support is calculated for each parent separately and the amounts are set-off against each other. The result is that only the higher earning spouse pays child support.
Child support claims can be very complex. Many issues can arise, including the calculation of income, eligibility of section 7 expenses (special expenses) and hardship claims. This website offers basic legal information only. For legal advice and representation in any child-support related matters, we recommend you consult an Alberta family lawyer. A family lawyer can bring or defend a child support claim on your behalf, and make submissions to the court. Contact us for more information on what a family lawyer can do for you.
