Types-of-Divorce-in-Ontario

DIVORCE LAW SERVICES

Mississauga divorce lawyer services range from a simple uncontested divorce to contested divorce in Ontario.

Difference between Uncontested & Contested Divorce

Uncontested Divorce: Often referred to as a simple divorce in Ontario, an uncontested divorce occurs when both parties agree on all major aspects of the divorce, including asset division, child custody, child support, and spousal support. In such cases, only the divorce claim is filed in court. This type of divorce can also be filed jointly, should both parties wish to apply together, signifying mutual agreement on all terms of the separation.

Contested Divorce: In contrast, a contested divorce arises when there are disagreements between the parties on key issues such as child custody, child support, spousal support, property division, and other matrimonial matters. These disagreements necessitate a more complex legal process, often involving negotiations and possibly court proceedings to resolve the disputes.

Understanding the differences between these two types of divorce is crucial for determining the most suitable path forward. Uncontested divorces generally involve less conflict and can be resolved more swiftly, whereas contested divorces might require more time and legal intervention to address disputes.
