What is the difference between contested and uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce is also known as a simple divorce in Ontario, which means only a divorce claim is filed in court. Therefore, in an uncontested divorce application, no claim for child custody, child support, spousal support or division of property is filed. You can also file a joint uncontested divorce if you and your ex wish to apply together.
On the other hand, a contested divorce means both parties do not agree on all issues, such as custody, child support, spousal support, division of property, matrimonial home, and much more. Learn more about 5 Tips for Uncontested Divorce in Ontario You Must Know!
