Determining Jurisdiction: Why It Matters Before You Contact a Lawyer

determining jurisdiction

Before diving into legal action, one of the most important questions to answer is: Which province has legal authority over your matter?

It might not sound exciting—but figuring out jurisdiction early can save you time, money, and frustration when reaching out to a lawyer.

Whether you’re dealing with parenting issues, separation, or property division, your case must typically be handled in the province where key elements of your life are based—like where you live, where your kids live, or where your property is located.

Quick Quiz: Does your matter fall under Saskatchewan jurisdiction?

If you’re not sure where your matter should be heard, we’ve created a short quiz to help you get started:

  • Do you or the other party live in Saskatchewan?
  • Do your children live in Saskatchewan?
  • Is any property (home, land, assets) in Saskatchewan?
If you answered yes to one or more of these, there’s a good chance your matter falls under Saskatchewan family law. 

Please note: it’s still worth getting confirmation from a legal professional.

We can still help if you aren't in Saskatchewan!

Thanks to the National Mobility Agreement, our lawyers can support clients in other provinces in certain circumstances. We’re always happy to help you determine if we’re the right fit or point you in the right direction.
