Domestic Violence

When a couple lives together and are not married, but maintain a “marriage-like” relationship for a minimum of three years, they are considered to be living common law. (In Alberta, the term Adult Interdependent Relations, or AIR, is used).

The three things every victim of domestic violence must know 

If you are a victim of domestic violence, call the police and report the incident. Don’t wait. Don’t ask friends or family for advice. Call the police. That’s step one.

The next step is to move to a place where you feel safe. Don’t assume things might change for the better. Move to a new location.

Now you are ready for step three – seek legal help by contacting the law offices of Healey Law to request a no-obligation introductory consultation with a divorce and separation lawyer.
