Online Booking

In-Person Initial Consultation

Once you have an idea about what types of services you need, meet with a knowledgeable person who can better explain options.

We offer three types of initial consultations. We offer a 30 minutes couples consultation (for parties considering mediation) or a 30 minute legal consultation (for parties looking to retain a lawyer) and there is no obligation. If you decide to use our services, we will use the remainder of the hour to get started.

Alternatively, if you would like to meet with a knowledgeable person to discuss options and provide you with a quick review of your situation including the calculation of your matrimonial net worth, child and/or spousal support, then you can book a 60 minute individual consultation. Our normal fees ($290 plus gst) apply for this service and are paid at the end of the meeting.

We wish we could make everyone happy — but we can’t.

That said — Given that separation and divorce can be incredibly difficult and emotional, we are proud that we have over 100 Google reviews with an average rating of 4.6 stars. Read what real people have to say.

Dean worked with my former spouse and I to come to an agreement that would have taken four times as much time, cost tens of thousands more and involved far more emotional stress if not for his exceptional mediation skills. At times, I wondered if we would be able to finish in mediation and Dean was able to keep us on point and ultimately achieve our goal of an arbitrated separation agreement. He has a wealth of experience and I would highly recommend The Divorce Company's services. They absolutely make a tough situation tolerable.

I foolishly attempted a DIY approach to my divorce. However, I soon learned that navigating the multitude of forms with all the rules and regulations was a bit overbearing. I contacted The Divorce Company and they came to my rescue. They immediate took over where I left off and completed the entire process efficiently and effectively. I have already received my Divorce Judgement. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They eliminated the stress associated with the divorce. My sincere thanks to Carlene and her team.

It was a pleasure to work with Carlene and the Divorce Company. She was very patient with both of us. She was great at keeping us focused on our issues and she was flexible when we needed time to make decisions. The Alberta Laws are respected and she is wonderful at explaining things in a clear manner. I highly recommend the Divorce Company if you are seeking to part with your spouse in an amicable way.

Jennifer Gies

18:56 27 Aug 19

Efficient, personable and inexpensive! We were able to process the entire divorce in one sitting. I would highly recommend using The Divorce Company.

This is not for everyone. But if your relationship is amicable, your egos are in check, you're fair with give and take, you fully understand another's liberty, you're big enough to know it's not all 'their fault', you're not into hostile confrontations about who gets the dog, the oil painting or the Tupperware. You're not into shelling out endless dollars into lawyers' pockets because every time they whisper to you or your spouses ear, "ya know, I think you're are entitled to more". But I get it. Not everyone's divorce is rational. My brothers case was night and day compared to my own. Some people are irrational, And some just like to fight. And yes, crazy as it can be, just because they like fight and win, as in a sport. When you're in a divorce, It's easy to become strangers again. But for us, it worked out quite well. Carlene was very clear on what was needed from us, and questions were answered professionally. And, she was clear on a few points where it was advised that we might want our own council. (we didn't, by the way). But her advise was respected. like I said, not for everyone. But if you can die with a smile on your face even though you didn't get grandpas antique clock, or the silverware, Stay content, and use this service. Great idea, and great people. -sincerely, David Tougas

She made things so smooth and understandable and made sure that both parties were satisfied.I am truly happy to have made the decision to go with this company.

This company was very good...I highly recommend it!!! They were very fast, efficient and very thurl they made it very easy and without judgment! As well as, they kept me updated...via phone, letter and e-mail! Again I would highly recommend this company however, to get an actual divorce certificate from the court of Queen bench takes a really long time my advice is to call them 31 days after the divorce is finalized and they will email you a copy right away.

21:13 19 Jul 17

Hello; I've just gone through the process over the last year. And dealt with The Divorce Company in Edmonton. Though it is a very emotional thing, using the divorce company, was less expensive than lawyers. Not to mention, any information that I needed was provided. They were very helpful and went over and above to meet my unfortunate timing' timelines. Therefore I completely endorse and recommend this company. I dealt with "Dean Bergsma". And in truth he made this process as painless as is possible! My thanks to the company and to Dean. Now the point I'm at is the wait on the courts. And if in afew months this process is approved, I feel I will be writing another good review for the company! Once again my thanks to Dean and The Divorce Company!

Fantastic customer service! A marriage breakdown is never easy even when two people can work through the separation details prior to meeting with a legal team. Dean helped us through some of the unforseen bumps in the separation agreement. His expert skills in negotiating and documenting the process saved us a ton of money and made this process less painful. Would highly recommend you check this company out if you need this type of service!

Dean Bergsma is a very professional mediator. He is very knowledgable and is going through every details to explain or advice the complex of separation/divorce process. He is very prompt to follow up steps needed to complete the process as smoothly. We saved lots of money to see him as a mediator, and our case is completed within a month. Thank you very much Dean. I have mentioned your name to friends. If you want a quick and complete process, give them a call. The first consult for couple mediation is free. It is a win-win.
