Yes, you can obtain a no-fault divorce in Canada without a court appearance if both spouses agree to all terms.
A joint divorce application allows couples to complete their divorce without attending court, provided they have reached a mutual agreement on all essential matters. This streamlined process requires:
- Complete agreement on property division and asset distribution
- Clear arrangements for child custody and support (if applicable)
- Settled terms for spousal support (if relevant)
- Proper completion and filing of all required documentation
Many couples choose to work with a divorce mediator to facilitate these agreements and ensure all legal requirements are met. This approach typically saves time, reduces costs, and minimizes stress compared to traditional court proceedings.
