In Ontario, there are two common ways to proceed with an uncontested divorce: Simple Divorce and Joint Divorce. Both options are available when spouses have resolved all issues relating to parenting, support, and property.
Simple Divorce
One spouse files the divorce application, and the other spouse does not oppose it. The responding spouse must be formally served but does not need to attend court if there is no dispute.
Joint Divorce
Both spouses apply together and sign the divorce application. Because the parties are proceeding cooperatively, there is no need for formal service, which often makes the process faster and more streamlined.
If you are unsure which option is appropriate for your situation, our office can review your circumstances and guide you toward the most efficient path forward.
We confirm your eligibility and professionally draft your divorce application along with other documents.
Our team manages court filing with the Brampton Courthouse and ensures your spouse is formally served according to Ontario court rules.
We arrange for the final Divorce Order to be sent to you electronically.

In Ontario, a simple or uncontested divorce typically takes between 4 to 6 months. This timeline depends largely on the current processing speeds at the A. Grenville and William Davis Court House in Brampton. If there are no issues with your paperwork, the court usually issues the Divorce Order within a few months of filing.

No. Most uncontested and joint divorces are handled entirely through a “desk divorce” process. This means your lawyer files the necessary affidavits and applications with the Brampton court office, and a judge reviews them in their chambers. As long as all legal requirements are met, you will receive your Divorce Order by mail without ever having to step into a courtroom.
Yes. You can file for divorce in Brampton as long as your marriage was legal in the country where it took place and either you or your spouse has lived in Ontario for at least the last 12 months. You will need to provide your original marriage certificate; if it is not in English or French, we can assist you in obtaining a certified translation that meets Ontario court standards
