Innovative Joint Representation for Amicable Divorce
One Family Law is a pioneering legal practice in Edmonton, introducing a first-of-its-kind model in Canada: One Family, One Lawyer. Founded by experienced family lawyer Melissa Bourgeois in 2023, the firm operates under a special pilot project approved by the Law Society of Alberta. This innovative approach allows separating couples to retain a single, neutral lawyer to guide them both through the separation process. The goal is to reduce conflict, save money, and preserve family relationships, making it an ideal choice for couples who wish to separate amicably.
The One Lawyer Divorce Method
Unlike the traditional adversarial system where each spouse hires their own lawyer to fight for their individual interests, One Family Law focuses on collaboration. The firm offers a streamlined, 7-step process that typically concludes within 6-8 weeks. Services include drafting Separation Agreements, financial disclosure reviews, and finalizing Uncontested Divorces. By charging a predictable flat fee, the firm eliminates the uncertainty of hourly billing. If you and your spouse agree on the key terms of your separation and want to hire a lawyer together, this firm offers a unique and compassionate solution.
- Joint representation for both spouses.
- Comprehensive separation agreements.
- Fixed flat-fee pricing structure.
Focusing on the Future
One Family Law is dedicated to helping families transition to their next chapter with dignity. The firm assists with parenting plans and child support calculations, ensuring that the well-being of children remains a priority. While this model is not suitable for high-conflict cases or those involving domestic violence, it represents a significant leap forward for families seeking a peaceful resolution.
Located in the vibrant Westmount area, the office provides a neutral and welcoming space for couples to work through their legal matters together. One Family Law is redefining what it means to separate, proving that divorce doesn’t have to be a battle.
