Separation, Communication and Co-Parenting

“Parents sometimes lose sight of the fact that they’re divorced as a marriage but not as a family. They’ll be co-parenting for life through events such as birthdays, weddings and graduations. When they know they’re in this for the long run, they’re much more motivated to have good communication.” (Therapist Irene Schatz Ph.D. who runs […]

I have a strong feeling of support with Mr MacLean, for the past years I have been through many lawyers never feeling that they had the backbones necessary to get it done. Mr MacLean believes that children do not forfeit the love and guidance of two caring parents just because of separation, he was the lead counsel in Young V Young the leading Canadian case on maximum contact by children to both parents and believes shared custody promotes the best outcome for children and allows for both the parents and children to win. Passionate, focussed, tireless and intelligent he puts in a lot of energy which makes you believe in brighter days. Highly recommended for Calgary complex and high conflict cases he is the one to get things to move along with haste. Stop wondering who to hire and finally begin your journey with confidence. He is knowledgable and understands alienation, which ultimately will protect your child's best interest.read more

I met Amandeep Kahlon when she volunteered with the Calgary Police Service. She helped me obtain my rights as a father and made sure I had parenting time with my sons. I now have my sons majority of the time of the time and before I had them only once a month. I spent much money with another lawyer before I became frustrated but Ms. Kahlon helped me solve my problems quickly and at a reasonable price. She is the best and I recommend her to everyone. I wish her luck. Thank you Amandeep!!!!!!read more

Mr Maclean and his team has been very instrumental in the success of my case. Mr Maclean obtained equal parenting time for a child who was less than one-year-old at the time.I highly recommend him to anyone who is going through the difficult process of a divorce.Lorne’s high energy, expertise’s in court and calm composure created an amazing dynamic that was exhilarating and uplifting. He is bright, caring, experienced, hard working, honest, trustworthy and above all very very good in court. Our son has a loving relationship with his father due to Mr Maclean’s brilliant presentation in court. I find Lorne Maclean a true professional and a friend but also a great human being. A better choice for a lawyer could not be made.read more

Words cannot express the gratitude I owe to Aman Khalon and her team (Nikolina Maric & Christina Johnson) for the tireless work they did to restore life back into my soul. As time was of the essence in my matter, Aman listened patiently to my circumstances, drew up a solid plan and started work immediately. Aman did all the leg work and even waited patiently for 3 hours in court to get the necessary signatures the same day she was in court. In just a week, this devoted dad had his child safely back in his arms. I sleep well at night now knowing that I have entrusted the rest of the matter in the hands of a very capable Counsel- Aman Khalon. I remain ever indebted to you and your team at Maclean Law. I will always recommend your Firm to anyone faced with a similar situation.read more
