What is the difference between contested and uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce is also known as a simple divorce in Ontario, which means where both parties agree on all terms of their separation, such as child custody, support and property division. This makes the process quicker, straightforward, more affordable, and less stressful. The spouses typically record their decisions in a separation agreement that gets filed with the divorce application to convert into a court order.
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!
