FAQs

How Long Does It Take To Get A Divorce In Ontario:

In most uncontested cases, a divorce in Ontario takes approximately four to six months from the date the application is filed, depending on court processing times. Contested matters may take longer due to additional steps such as conferences, disclosure, and hearings.
Do I need a lawyer for a separation agreement?

While spouses may draft an agreement themselves, obtaining independent legal advice is strongly recommended. Without legal advice, the agreement may be vulnerable to challenge and may not be enforceable by the court.
Are prenuptial agreements enforceable in Ontario.

Prenuptial agreements (marriage contracts) are generally enforceable if both parties provided full financial disclosure, obtained independent legal advice, and entered into the agreement freely and voluntarily. Courts may set aside agreements that are unfair, incomplete, or improperly executed.
What is Independent Legal Advice (ILA)?

ILA ensures that a party understands the terms, rights, and obligations in a family law agreement before signing. The lawyer providing ILA confirms the agreement was entered into voluntarily and provides a certificate that strengthens enforceability.
What is a Foreign Divorce Opinion Letter?

A Foreign Divorce Opinion Letter is a legal opinion required by ServiceOntario to permit remarriage in Ontario when either spouse obtained a divorce outside Canada. The opinion confirms the validity of the foreign divorce under Canadian law.
How is child support calculated in Ontario?
Child support is determined using the Federal Child Support Guidelines and is based on the payor parent’s income and the number of children. Additional expenses, known as section 7 expenses, may also be shared proportionately between the parents.
