Requirements:
- At least one of the spouses must have habitually lived in Ontario for at least
one full year, prior to the commencement of divorce proceedings.
- You must be living separate and apart at the time the divorce action is
started.
What you should know:
- Filing jointly (if possible) is easier, quicker, less adversarial, and
less expensive than filing a sole action. (Requires the full cooperation
of both spouses.)
- Divorce Actions on the grounds of adultery or cruelty can become very expensive
and often take more than a year to resolve. If possible it is best to file
on the ground of a one year separation.
- You cannot file jointly if your grounds are adultery or cruelty.
- Divorce actions on the grounds of separation typically take from 2 to 4
months to conclude but it is not necessary to wait until one year of separation
to begin the process. You may begin the divorce action once you are separated
and a divorce judgment will usually be granted one year after your date of
separation.
Required Documents:
- A copy of your marriage certificate or a copy of the registration of your
marriage.
- If applicable, a copy of all Court Orders, Separation Agreements, Domestic
Contracts and any other written arrangements which pertain to the marriage
or any children of the marriage. If you have only an oral agreement, please
describe the terms and provide the date of the agreement.
