Ontario divorce forms follow unique provincial requirements while adhering to federal divorce laws

Ontario’s divorce forms reflect the province’s specific legal procedures while operating within Canada’s federal Divorce Act. These documents are designed to address Ontario’s distinct court system and provincial family law requirements.

Key differences include:

• Ontario uses specific form numbers (e.g., Form 8: Application and Form 25A: Divorce Order) that differ from other provinces
• Forms must be filed through Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice rather than other provincial courts
• Documentation requirements for proving Ontario residency are unique to the province
• Mandatory information sheets and certificates are specific to Ontario’s family court system
• Forms are available in both English and French, reflecting Ontario’s bilingual status

All Ontario divorce forms can be accessed through the Ontario Court Forms website or obtained from local courthouses throughout the province.
