We Understand Family Law

Crossroads Law provides litigation services, mediation, and alternative dispute resolution in every area of family law.

We prioritize your child's best interests. We offer guidance to create stable arrangements from shared to sole custody. Learn how we use mediation and court strategies to achieve positive outcomes.

Child support calculations can be complex. At Crossroads Law, we're skilled in navigating intricate income scenarios and international cases. We collaborate with accountants and tax specialists to offer you a tailored approach.

With transparent pricing, we offer flat rates for various legal services, including cohabitation and prenuptial agreements. This covers consultations, drafting, edits, and a final meeting for signing.

Collaborative divorce or collaborative family law is a voluntary and private dispute resolution process in which the separating couple makes a commitment to settle their family law matter outside of court by working cooperatively.

Navigate the complexities of divorce and separation with Crossroads Law. Whether it's a desk divorce or understanding the implications of your separation date, we guide you through the entire process.

At Crossroads Law, we can guide you through your journey to parenthood with compassion and care. We specialize in sperm donation, egg donation, and surrogacy and are fierce advocates for those engaged in conflicts over reproductive material.

We guide you in identifying your share of assets and debts, even uncovering concealed ones, to ensure a fair distribution.

Resolve civil and family law matters through mediation or arbitration. Our experienced mediators and arbitrators create a safe, collaborative environment to reach fair, efficient, and lasting settlements.

What Our Clients Say

We greatly appreciated working with Chris Cosentino. He was exceptional—patient, empathetic, calm, and understanding. Chris not only provided excellent legal advice but also gently offered guidance on issues that didn't necessarily have legal solutions.

Tanya is a smart, compassionate lawyer who listens to her clients. She fearlessly guided me to a favourable resolution in my complex, drawn-out divorce, all at a fair and reasonable cost. I am extremely grateful for her time, her talent and the positive change she brought to both my kids and my future!

Red Flags Family Lawyers See Every Day (and Wish Clients Knew Earlier)

After more than 23 years on the front lines of family law, presiding over trials and helping families resolve issues through mediation, I’ve noticed some recurring patterns. There are certain “red flags” that often show up early in relationships, long before anyone realizes there’s a problem. When those early warning signs are brushed aside or ignored, it can give rise to very serious issues down the road.

Financial Planning for Separation: What You Need to Know in Alberta

Separation can turn your world upside down, but the right planning can keep you afloat. With the emotional toll of compounding problems like money, property and your future at stake, it can all feel overwhelming.

What to Consider Before Saying “I Do”? 

Engagements are wonderfully exciting! Valentine’s Day proposals, wedding plans, moving in together, it all feels hopeful and full of excitement for what comes next. Most couples at this stage are naturally focused on the emotional side of commitment: love, trust, and building a life together. What tends to get less attention is the legal reality behind that commitment.

Child support in Canada is calculated using Federal Guidelines based on income and custody, with additional considerations for business owners' income.

Selecting the right family lawyer is vital for understanding the nuances of your situation. Research their professional biography for insight into their expertise and approach. To book a free 20-minute consultation, call 1.800.466.1838 or book online.

Divorce in Canada usually necessitates a one-year separation, with the timeline varying due to factors like asset complexity, parenting disputes, and court schedules.

Family law mediation offers a voluntary, less formal way to resolve disputes like divorce or child custody. A neutral mediator guides the process, facilitating discussions and helping parties work toward a mutually acceptable agreement. The process includes initial meetings, expression of concerns, and drafting a settlement, which can be made legally binding. Mediation is often quicker, less costly, and less stressful than court proceedings, but its suitability varies by case.
