Step-by-Step Process for a Cheap Divorce in Toronto.

  • Step 1: Confirm Eligibility

    Before filing for divorce, you must meet these legal requirements:

    ✔ Separation Period: You must have been separated for at least 12 months (except in cases of adultery or cruelty).
    ✔ Residency Requirement: At least one spouse must have lived in Ontario for 12 months before filing.

  • Step 2: Choose the Right Divorce Type

    Pick the best option based on your situation:

    📌 Uncontested Divorce – The cheapest and fastest option for couples who agree on all terms.
    📌 Joint Divorce – A cost-effective choice if both spouses cooperate and file together.
    📌 Sole Divorce – If your spouse refuses to sign or is unresponsive, you can still proceed.

  • Step 3: Gather Necessary Documents

    Before filing, collect all required documents:

    📑 Marriage Certificate – If lost, you can order a replacement from the provincial office.
    📑 Separation Agreement (if applicable) – While not required, having a written agreement can clarify important issues.
    📑 Completed Divorce Forms – We can help you fill out the required legal paperwork.

  • Step 4: File the Divorce Application

    📝 Submit Your Application – File your completed divorce forms at an Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
    💰 Pay the Court Fees – Ontario charges a $632 divorce filing fee, payable in two installments. Fee waivers are available for those who qualify.

  • Step 5: Serve Divorce Papers (For Sole Divorce Only)

    📌 If filing a Sole Divorce, you must serve your spouse with the divorce documents.
    📌 A process server or third party delivers the papers.
    📌 Your spouse has 30 days to respond (if they live in Canada) or 60 days (if they live outside Canada).

  • Step 6: Submit Final Paperwork

    📑 If your spouse does not contest the divorce, you can submit an Affidavit for Divorce to confirm no objections.
    📑 Request a Divorce Order from the court.

  • Step 7: Receive Your Final Divorce Certificate

    ✔ Once the judge grants the divorce, you will receive a Divorce Order.
    ✔ After 31 days, you can request a Certificate of Divorce, which is the final legal proof of your divorce.

Not Filling Out Forms Correctly

📌 Errors or missing information in your divorce forms can cause court rejections and costly delays.

Skipping Mediation When Needed

💡 Solution: Mediation is a cost-effective way to settle disputes without going to court.

Not Serving Papers Properly

📌 If filing a sole divorce, your spouse must be served properly. Failing to follow court rules for service can cause delays.
💡 Solution: Use a professional process server to ensure legal compliance.
