Requirements:
• •
At least one of the spouses must have habitually lived in the Province where you will start your divorce action for at least one full year, prior to the start of your divorce action. You must be living separate and apart at the time the divorce action is started.
What you should know:
• • • •
Filing jointly (if possible) is easier, quicker, less adversarial, and less expensive than filing a sole action. (Requires the full cooperation of both spouses.) Divorce Actions on the grounds of adultery or cruelty can become very expensive and often take more than a year to resolve. If possible it is best to file on the ground of a one year separation. You cannot file jointly if your grounds are adultery or cruelty. Divorce actions on the grounds of separation typically take from 2 to 4 months to conclude but it is not necessary to wait until one year of separation to begin the process. You may begin the divorce action once you are separated and a divorce judgment will usually be granted one year after your date of separation.
Required Documents:
• •
A copy of your marriage certificate or a copy of the registration of your marriage. If applicable, a copy of all Court Orders, Separation Agreements, Domestic Contracts and any other written arrangements which pertain to the marriage or any children of the marriage. If you have only an oral agreement, please describe the terms and provide the date of the agreement.
