A Simple Divorce: What It Is and How to File One

Divorce is a difficult period in anyone's life and can have a major influence on the entire family, especially the children. Out of 87 countries, Canada has the 29th highest divorce rate.

Ending your marriage can be one of the biggest and most emotional decisions you'll ever have to make. But letting go of your spouse and moving on from the marriage can sometimes be the best thing you and your spouse can do for your mental wellbeing as well as that of your family's.

When you and your partner agree to end your marriage, it's known as a simple or uncontested divorce. In this case, both parties usually agree on matters such as child custody, alimony, property division, and so on. As such, the couple isn't required to go to court and can avoid any litigation.

How to File for a Simple Divorce

As both parties are open to communicating and willing to negotiate, there is a significant decrease in time and costs. To get a divorce, both parties must agree on all aspects of the separation.

 

The Canadian Federal Government has established a child and spousal support mechanism, as well as a criterion for asset distribution that both spouses should follow. Instead of going through the time-consuming and expensive process of court litigation, it is highly recommended to discuss and settle the divorce processes amongst yourselves.



 

Both spouses must lead a separate life for at least one year and prepare a documented separation agreement. This agreement aims to protect both parties' legal rights and responsibilities throughout the procedure and afterwards. After these requirements have been fulfilled, they can seek an uncontested divorce in a joint application online.

Hiring a Divorce Lawyer

While the procedure can be carried out online, it is important to seek legal advice to avoid any problems. A competent family lawyer can guide you through the process and help you navigate this stressful time by safeguarding your legal rights.
