Banks cannot disclose account information without consent or a court order
Due to Canadian privacy laws and banking regulations, financial institutions are legally prohibited from revealing personal account details about any individual without their explicit permission. During divorce proceedings, there are specific legal channels to obtain this information:
- Request financial disclosure through the formal divorce process
- Obtain a court order compelling disclosure of banking information
- Work through your divorce lawyer to access financial records legally
- Use the financial statement Form 13.1 which requires full disclosure of all accounts
