Understanding The Divorce Process In Ontario
Divorce legally ends a marriage, but it’s often only part of resolving a separation. Parenting arrangements and support, as well as property matters, may also need to be sorted out before or alongside the divorce itself. When a divorce is based on separation, spouses need to have lived separate and apart for at least a year before it can be granted. That said, you don’t necessarily have to wait out the full year before starting the application. Our divorce lawyer can review what needs to be addressed and help ensure important family or financial issues don’t get overlooked.
Uncontested Vs. Contested Divorce
An uncontested divorce generally means neither spouse is opposing the divorce itself. When both sides have already worked through their issues, the process can often move ahead without going to trial. A contested case involves disagreements that still need to be sorted out. We look first for practical ways to negotiate, since reaching an agreement usually means less stress and lower cost. When court becomes necessary, our divorce lawyers are ready to stand up for your interests. Property is often where disagreements crop up during separation. When financial questions get complicated, a property division lawyer can help with court proceedings and settlement talks.
