About Us

History

Our firm was started with the idea that most issues around separation and divorce can be settled outside of court through family mediation. Most of the people our Edmonton family mediators work with find that they can reach an agreement without relying on a judge. But some do need to use the court system and family mediation services, usually to get the other spouse to listen to reason.

Going to court for a divorce in Alberta is often much slower and more expensive than divorce mediation. Unless it is obvious that the negotiation will fail, we try negotiation first and then use the court system if necessary.

Our firm handles more than 8% of all divorce documents filed in Edmonton.

Our Team

We have a knowledgeable team of staff members who have a wide range of life experiences, which include holding public company vice president positions, wealth manager of over $1B in assets, and family mediators in Edmonton who can represent couples, entrepreneurs, and those who have mediation, negotiation, and finance experience at the university level.

However, the main reason we chose this career is that we genuinely believe we can help people going through tough times of divorce and separation — one family at a time. Our team provides divorce forms, family mediation, and divorce documentation services.

Our Clients

We have all types of clients – from lay preachers to lawyers, truck drivers to teachers, and beekeepers to business owners.

Our job is to provide you with the best family mediation and Alberta divorce form services in Edmonton. We treat our clients with dignity and work cooperatively to find a solution to their issues.

Why not come in and meet our family mediators and see if you want us to work for you?

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.

Working with Carlene at The Divorce Company Team has been an incredibly positive experience. Their approach to helping clients take the high road through divorce is truly refreshing. Carlene's professionalism, empathy, and clear communication made a difficult process much easier to navigate.Throughout my experience, Carlene was supportive and understanding, always offering thoughtful advice and helping me stay focused on fair, practical solutions. She kept the process organized and ensured that I was informed at every step, which helped reduce the stress that often comes with divorce proceedings.What really stood out to me was her ability to maintain a calm, respectful approach, even when emotions ran high. Her focus on cooperation and resolution helped me get through this challenging time with greater peace of mind.I highly recommend Carlene and The Divorce Company Team to anyone looking for a compassionate, balanced approach to divorce.Thank you truly.

I am satisfied with the service fromCarlene , for our uncontested separation agreement. Carlene was always available to answer our questions through phone calls, emails and in person. Sometimes, I didn’t understand legal jargon etc as I had never had the experience before , so it was a bit frustrating that way.However, over all it was quick, not time consuming and less expensive than hiring lawyers if you are separating amicably. Highly recommended.

I contacted The Divorce Company to help complete and file the divorce papers with the court for a joint divorce. Carlene is very knowledgeable, patient and kind. She explained everything clearly and was available anytime I had questions. Carlene completed the paperwork quickly and efficiently. The cost is very reasonable and I would recommend The Divorce Company to anyone.

What a fantastic, simple and efficient service. If you and your soon to be former spouse are being civil and cooperative this is ideal. No endless meetings and negotiations. We set our terms, Carlene prepared documents and then after proofreading approval we has a 1 hr meeting to review and sign.Not endless expensive lawyer meetings.A friend of a friend has been going thru 12 yr divorce with $99,000 in legal bills.Who wants that??

I was recommended to use this company and I was not disappointed. Going through a separation or a divorce is not easy, but using these guys made the procedure a lot easier to complete this difficult process.When I submitted all the info for myself and my Ex, all the paper work was completed and everything was explained so both parties fully understood what was being signed.I am hoping I don’t have to use them again, but if circumstances changed in my life again then I would not think twice but go with these guys again.

Carlene is a great mediator. She was neutral for most of the process, and yet she advocated for a fair spousal support agreement when it was needed. I appreciated her humour and cheerfulness during our sessions. She is easy to talk to, friendly, relatable and made me feel comfortable through out the tough process of splitting up. I'd highly recommend her and her mediation skills.

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.
