An uncontested divorce in Alberta typically takes 3 to 6 months from the date of filing, provided all required documents are in order and the one-year separation period has been met. Contested divorces involving disputes over property, support, or parenting can take significantly longer — sometimes 1 to 3 years or more.

Wrongful dismissal occurs when an employer terminates an employee without cause and without providing adequate notice or pay in lieu of notice as required by Alberta's Employment Standards Code and common law. If you were let go without a valid reason and without proper severance, you may have a wrongful dismissal claim.
