Alberta launched a new family court system on Jan. 2, 2026, to speed up cases involving children and reduce conflict.
Alberta’s Court of King’s Bench launched the Family Focused Protocol on January 2, 2026, replacing the prior Family Justice Strategy.
The new system uses three case streams—Regular, Desk, and Urgent Processes—to streamline family law matters, especially those involving children.
Mandatory steps before court access include parenting education, alternative dispute resolution, full financial disclosure, and, for self-represented individuals, a meeting with a family court counselor.
Non-compliance may delay or block filings.
Cases then proceed to a Mandatory Intake Conference with a judge, who sets timelines and promotes settlement.
The protocol aims to reduce conflict, improve efficiency, and ensure consistent outcomes.
