Dawn Nelson Law Office

If you are not married, but need help with parenting, child support, or partner support in the Court of King's Bench or the Alberta Court of Justice, we are here to help.

If you are legally married, intend to separate, or have already separated, from your spouse and need help filing for divorce, including addressing parenting, child support, spousal support and division of your family property, we can help every step of the way.

Family conflict often arises when someone takes ill or passes away without a plan. Minimize the stress with proper Estate Planning including a Will, Personal Directive, and Power of Attorney. 

Whether you are getting into or getting out of a family relationship, proper planning is essential. We can assist you with your cohabitation agreement, "pre-nup" or "post-nup" contracts, a separation agreement, Minutes of Settlement, or any step in your family property litigation.

When you cannot seem to move past the conflicts that get in the way of healthy co-parenting, sometimes a neutral person can guide you to the solution. When neutral mediation is not enough, seeking an arbitrated decision from an experienced professional is the next step. Dawn Nelson can keep you out of court with Parenting Coordination.

Do you need a decision on a single issue and do not have the luxury of waiting for a court date? Half-day or one-day arbitration may be for you. These meetings are conducted virtually, with or without your lawyers, and limited to getting an answer to one question where time is of the essence.
