Who Can File for Divorce in Toronto?

To start a divorce proceeding in Toronto, you generally need to meet the following requirements:

  • You and your spouse are legally married, whether the marriage took place in Canada or abroad.
  • Either you or your spouse has been habitually resident in Ontario for at least one year immediately before the divorce proceeding is started.
  • There has been a breakdown of the marriage under the Divorce Act. The most common ground is living separate and apart for at least one year. Adultery and physical or mental cruelty are also recognized grounds for divorce.
  • You will generally need to provide your original marriage certificate to the court. If it cannot be obtained, there may be a process to explain this to the court.

For an uncontested divorce, the spouses should also have no unresolved claims that need to be determined by the court as part of the divorce proceeding.

If you are unsure whether you qualify, our Toronto divorce lawyers can review your circumstances and explain the appropriate next steps.

Going through a divorce was one of the most stressful and overwhelming experiences of my life, but having Ali Shaikh as my family lawyer made all the difference.

The team at Shaikh Law Firm were incredible from Day 1. After submitting a request online, I received an email with clear instructions as to how to get the ball rolling with my divorce proceedings….Their fees were upfront and transparent, with no surprises (unlike my experience with other lawyers). I truly cannot express how much I recommend working with this team! Not only are their fees reasonable, the time and stress you'll save by having a team that runs like a well oiled machine on your side is BEYOND worth it. You will not regret it!

Toronto Divorce FAQs

An uncontested divorce generally means the divorce itself is not opposed and there are no other claims requiring the court to decide disputed family-law issues as part of the proceeding. A simple divorce usually seeks only a divorce order, while spouses may also apply jointly.

A contested family-law matter may involve unresolved issues such as parenting arrangements, child support, spousal support, property division or the matrimonial home.
