OUR SERVICES

Helping Calgary Families Create A Positive Environment For Children

Child care arrangements are a priority for separating parents. Despite positive intentions, however, parents may disagree on the schedule and amount of contact they are each afforded with their children. Ultimately, parents must create an effective custody and child support plan with their child's best interests in mind at the time of divorce and as children grow older and family circumstances evolve.

At Kirk Montoute Dawson LLP, we are committed to resolving child custody matters with a focus on what’s best for the children. Whether through collaborative law or traditional negotiation, we provide tailored solutions that reflect your family’s unique needs. Our Calgary child custody lawyers help parents, regardless of the relationship dynamic, reach practical custody arrangements that protect both parental rights and the well-being of the child, while minimizing conflict and stress.

Legal Processes To Create Long-Term Child Custody Solutions

Many parents feel that going to family court is the only way to create an effective parenting time arrangement. In fact, out-of-court solutions often save parents time and money and reduce the emotional and psychological strain on children. At Kirk Montoute Dawson LLP, we are proponents of mediation, settlement meetings, and collaborative law, which can lead to practical legal solutions that best serve families.
