We are committed to safeguarding the privacy, confidentiality, and security of personal information in accordance with Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and all other applicable laws. By using our website, submitting information through online forms, or communicating with us electronically, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Who We Are

We are a Calgary-based family law firm providing legal services in areas including divorce, property division, parenting, child support, spousal support, and related matters. For the purposes of PIPA, we act as the organization responsible for the personal information we collect.

Personal Information We Collect

We collect only the personal information necessary to provide legal services, respond to inquiries, and operate our website effectively. This may include information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, contact details, information submitted through website forms, information shared during consultations, and billing or payment information. We may also collect information automatically when you visit our website, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, time spent on the site, and information collected through cookies or similar technologies.

How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to respond to inquiries, schedule consultations, provide legal advice and representation, manage client relationships and files, process payments, improve website functionality and security, meet regulatory and professional obligations, and communicate updates or information relevant to your matter when appropriate. We do not sell personal information.

We collect, use, and disclose personal information with your consent or as otherwise permitted or required by law. Consent may be express or implied. You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to service providers such as IT providers, cloud storage services, administrative support, or payment processors; when required by law, court order, or regulatory authority; to comply with Law Society of Alberta rules; or with your consent. Service providers are required to maintain confidentiality and protect personal information.

Protection of Personal Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

These Support Calculator Terms (the "Calculator Terms") apply to the child and spousal support calculator made available on this Website, including at /child-support-calculator-alberta/ and /spousal-support-calculator-alberta/ (the "Calculator"). The Calculator Terms apply in addition to, and form part of, the Terms of Use above. By checking the acceptance box, or by accessing or using the Calculator or any output it generates (including any printed or saved report, a "Report"), you agree to be bound by these Calculator Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Calculator.

1. Informational Tool Only; No Advice; No Lawyer-Client Relationship

The Calculator is a general information tool. It produces estimates only and does not provide legal, tax, financial, or other professional advice. Your use of the Calculator, and any Report, does not create a lawyer-client relationship between you and CFL, does not make you a client of CFL, and does not give rise to any duty of care, retainer, or fiduciary or professional obligation owed by CFL to you. CFL does not review, monitor, or verify any information you enter or any result generated.

2. Assumptions and Limitations

The Calculator applies published formulas and government parameters, including the federal child support tables, the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (which are advisory only and not law), and tax and benefit parameters for the periods identified on the Calculator page. Its results depend entirely on the accuracy and completeness of the information you enter and on assumptions that are stated on the Calculator page and incorporated into these Calculator Terms by reference, including that: entitlement to spousal support is assumed and is a legal question the Calculator cannot determine; the income figures entered are each party's correct guideline income, which may itself require legal analysis; both parties are assumed to reside in Alberta; and certain matters, including the SSAG exceptions, restructuring, undue hardship, income imputation, retroactive support, and arrears, are not modelled. Tables, legislation, guidelines, and tax and benefit parameters change over time, and results may not reflect the parameters applicable to your circumstances or time period.

3. No Reliance

You agree not to rely on the Calculator or any Report in making any decision, in negotiating, drafting, or signing any agreement, in swearing or affirming any document, or in any court or dispute resolution proceeding, without first obtaining advice from a qualified family law lawyer based on your specific circumstances. Support obligations are determined by law applied to proven facts, and a court or arbitrator may reach outcomes materially different from any estimate generated by the Calculator.

4. Privacy of Calculator Inputs

The Calculator runs entirely in your web browser. The information you enter into the Calculator, and the results generated, are processed on your device and are not transmitted to, collected by, or stored by CFL. If you print or save a Report, you are responsible for its safekeeping. Standard website analytics described in our Privacy Policy (such as the fact that the page was visited) continue to apply to the page itself.

5. Intellectual Property and Permitted Use

The Calculator, including its underlying code, formulas implementation, design, and Reports, is Content owned by CFL under the Terms of Use. You may use the Calculator and print Reports for your personal, non-commercial use only. You agree not to copy, reproduce, distribute, frame, scrape, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit the Calculator or any substantial portion of its outputs without CFL's prior written consent.

6. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

WITHOUT LIMITING SECTIONS 9 AND 10 OF THE TERMS OF USE, WHICH APPLY TO THE CALCULATOR AND ANY REPORT, THE CALCULATOR IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CFL AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY LOSS, CLAIM, OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR RELIANCE ON, THE CALCULATOR OR ANY REPORT, INCLUDING ANY DECISION MADE, AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO, OR PROCEEDING TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN. IN ANY EVENT, CFL'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE CALCULATOR IS LIMITED TO $10.00 AS SET OUT IN THE TERMS OF USE.

7. Changes and Availability

CFL may modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the Calculator, and may amend these Calculator Terms, at any time without notice. Continued use of the Calculator after a change is posted constitutes acceptance of the change. The governing law, arbitration, indemnification, and severability provisions of the Terms of Use apply to these Calculator Terms.
