If you live in the Greater Edmonton area, Calgary, Red Deer or Grande Prairie, and have a family law issue, you may need to follow the Family Justice Strategy, which is designed to help reach a resolution before attending court. 

How to terminate your guardianship

Step 1. Fill out the forms

Step 2.  File your order

Do this at the same court, in the same location, where you’ve either:

  • already been to court with the other party
  • started any court action that hasn’t gone to court

If you haven’t done either of these things, file your claim at any court in Alberta.
