Divorce FAQs

Q1: What is the difference between contested and uncontested divorce?

An uncontested divorce, also known as a simple divorce in Ontario, means both parties agree on all terms of their separation, such as parenting arrangements, support, and property division. This makes the process quicker, more straightforward, and less stressful. The spouses typically record their terms in a separation agreement, which remains a legally binding contract between them. It is not converted into a court order by filing a simple divorce application, although support terms may be filed separately with the court for enforcement.

A contested divorce means the parties do not agree on all issues, such as parenting, child support, spousal support, division of property, or the matrimonial home. Learn more in our guide on uncontested divorce in Ontario.

Q2: Can I file for divorce if my spouse doesn’t agree?

Yes. You do not need your spouse’s consent to file. As long as you meet the legal requirements, you may file for divorce on your own.

Q3: How long does it take to get a divorce in Ontario?

An uncontested divorce usually takes about 4 to 6 months from filing to divorce order. Timelines vary depending on court processing times at each courthouse.

Q4: How much does a divorce cost in Ontario?

Our fully managed uncontested divorce legal fee is $999 + HST, plus Ontario court filing fees of $669. For a complete breakdown, including contested divorce cost ranges, see our Divorce in Ontario Cost page.

Q5: What documents do I need to file for divorce?

You will need your original marriage certificate, valid identification, and any existing court orders or agreements, if applicable.

Q6: Can I get divorced in Ontario if I was married outside of Canada?

Yes. As long as your marriage is legally recognized and you or your spouse meets the Ontario residency requirement of 12 consecutive months, you can apply.

Q7: Do I need to go to court for a simple divorce?

No. Most uncontested divorces do not require a court appearance, and we handle the entire filing process for you.

Q8: How do I start my divorce online?

You can begin through our online divorce service — complete our intake form and our lawyers prepare and file everything for you. Official court forms and information are also available through the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
