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

  • Step 1: Confirm Eligibility for a Simple Divorce

    Before filing, ensure you meet these requirements:

    ✅  Residency Requirement – At least one spouse must have lived in Ontario for 12 months before filing.
    ✅  Mutual Agreement – Both spouses must agree to the divorce with no contested issues.

     

  • Step 2: Gather Required Documents

    To proceed, you’ll need:

    📜 Marriage Certificate – A legal copy of your marriage certificate. If lost, you can order a replacement online through ServiceOntario.
    📄 Separation Agreement (if applicable) – If you’ve already settled financial or custody matters, include this document.
    📝 Completed Divorce Application – This can be filed online or in person.

  • Step 3: File the Divorce Application

    🔹 Submit your Application for Divorce (Form 8A) at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto.
    🔹 Pay the required court filing fee (approximately $632 in Ontario).

  • Step 4: Serve the Divorce Papers to Your Spouse

    📌 The other spouse must be served with the divorce papers using an approved method, such as:

    Process server (hiring a professional to deliver documents).
    Registered mail (with proof of delivery).

  • Step 5: Wait for the Response Period

    ⏳ After being served, your spouse has 30 days to respond.

    • If no response is received, the divorce proceeds as uncontested.
    • If your spouse agrees, they can sign a form to confirm consent.
  • Step 6: Submit Final Divorce Documents

    📌 Once the response period ends, file the final documents:

    Affidavit for Divorce (Form 36) – Confirms that everything in your application is correct.
    Request for Divorce Order – Sent to the court for review and finalization.

  • Step 7: Receive the Divorce Certificate

    📜 The court will issue a Divorce Order, and after 31 days, you can request an official Certificate of Divorce. This certificate is needed if you plan to remarry.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Filing for a Simple Divorce

Filing for a simple divorce in Toronto is a straightforward process, but small mistakes can cause delays, additional costs, or even rejections. Here are the most common errors to avoid:

❌ Not Meeting Residency Requirements

✅  At least one spouse must have lived in Ontario for 12 months before filing.

❌ Incorrect or Incomplete Forms

✅  Ensure that all required forms are accurate and fully completed to avoid delays.

❌ Not Serving Divorce Papers Properly

✅  The court requires that your spouse is legally served with the divorce papers. Failure to do so can stop the process.

❌ Delaying Filing the Final Documents

✅  Your divorce is not final until you submit the Affidavit for Divorce and Request for Divorce Order. Missing this step can leave your case open indefinitely.

What is a Simple Divorce?

A simple divorce, also known as an uncontested divorce, is the easiest and most cost-effective way to end a marriage in Ontario. In this process, both spouses mutually agree to divorce without disputes over:

Property Division
Child Custody & Support
Spousal Support

Since there are no legal conflicts, a simple divorce is faster, more affordable, and less stressful than a contested divorce.

Who Qualifies for a Simple Divorce?

To be eligible for a simple divorce in Toronto, you must meet these criteria:

✅  Legally Married – You must provide a valid marriage certificate.
✅  Separated for at Least One Year – You and your spouse must live separate and apart for at least 12 months.
✅  No Disagreements – You both agree on assets, debts, child custody, and support.

If you meet these qualifications, you can file for a simple divorce without going to court.

Why Choose a Simple Divorce?

A simple divorce is the best option for couples who want a quick, affordable, and stress-free way to legally end their marriage.

Benefits of a Simple Divorce in Toronto

Choosing a simple divorce in Toronto offers numerous advantages, making it the preferred option for many couples. Here’s why:

✅  Cost-Effective

A flat-fee simple divorce is far more affordable than a contested divorce. You avoid expensive legal fees, court appearances, and lengthy legal battles.

✅  No Court Appearances

Most simple divorces do not require a court hearing. Once your documents are filed correctly, the process is handled by the court without needing you to appear in front of a judge.

✅  Faster Resolution

Since both spouses agree to the terms, a simple divorce is processed much faster than a contested divorce. In Toronto, most simple divorces are finalized within 4-6 months.

✅  Legally Binding

Once granted, a simple divorce is final and legally recognized under Ontario law. This means you are free to move forward with your life and remarry if you choose.

Simple Divorce vs. Contested Divorce: Key Differences

Understanding the differences between a simple divorce and a contested divorce can help you decide the best path forward. Below is a comparison of both:

Feature Simple Divorce Contested Divorce

Timeline ⏳ 4-6 Months ⏳ 1-3+ Years
Court Appearances ❌ Not Required ✅ Required
Complexity ✅ Straightforward ❌ Lengthy Legal Process
Disputes Involved ❌ None ⚖️ Property, Custody, Support

When is a Simple Divorce NOT an Option?

If you and your spouse cannot agree on financial matters, child custody, spousal support, or property division, you may need:

  • Mediation Services to help resolve disagreements.
  • A Family Mediator to negotiate terms before filing for divorce.

Faster Process – Avoid long legal disputes; most simple divorces are completed in 3 to 6 months.
Lower Costs – Save money on court fees and mediator expenses.
Less Stressful – No courtroom battles, just a straightforward legal process.
