Uncontested Divorce
Are you looking to end your marriage or common-law partnership without the traditional downsides of litigation or mediation? An uncontested divorce is quite an inexpensive and less frustrating process of ending a marriage. This divorce doesn’t involve any disputes or arguments that need to be resolved in court. The spouses simply agree on the terms of the divorce without going to trial.
Why opt for an uncontested divorce?
Couples seeking a divorce or separation should first try and work out some mutual terms without heading to court. Some separating couples choose to appoint a mediator or go for arbitration with a lawyer by their side. This approach often saves so much time and money. It helps to bypass the lengthy litigation and trial process. Additionally, uncontested divorce proceedings usually reduce the hostility that a contested divorce creates, allowing both parties to resume their lives much more quickly.
+ How can we help?
Contested Divorce Litigation
Every divorce involves a settlement of one or most of the following main issues:
- Division of property
- Division of debt
- Custody of the children, if any
- Payment of child and/or spousal support
You may have met all the requirements to be granted a divorce, such as the 1-year separation period, but if you can’t agree on the above issues concerning the divorce, you may end up in court asking for a court order (where the judge makes these decisions on behalf of the couple). This is what is regarded as a contested divorce. Going through a contested divorce is likely to cost you a lot of time and money. There is also a waiting period required by law before finalizing a full divorce order.

Separation Agreement
A separation agreement is a document that a separating couple uses to define their rights and obligations when the marriage ends. It may define how their assets and responsibilities are divided, parenting and support arrangements. A separation agreement is often used by couples who are looking to part ways and don’t want to go through the divorce proceedings. Either partner can challenge this document during the divorce process, which is why it’s important to have a lawyer review it before signing.
Why use a separation agreement?
Having lived together for some time, you are likely to be sharing a lot of things and responsibilities as a couple. You may also have plans of sharing things like pension income and pay-outs or the cost of educating your children in future. With a separation agreement, you can formally address these matters. You can set out the steps that need to be taken by each spouse and mutually acknowledge these decisions by signing the agreement. This document can go a long way in avoiding misunderstandings in future.

Foreign Divorce Opinion Letter
If you are looking to get married in Canada and you or your spouse has been divorced outside of Canada, you will need a properly drafted foreign divorce opinion letter. This letter validates the foreign divorce in Canada. It is proof that your divorce, which occurred in another jurisdiction, is also recognized in Canada.
The foreign divorce opinion letter is considered an authorization issued by the Minister of Government Services to show that the divorce is valid before a Canadian marriage license can be issued to the applicant.
