File the application: Submit your completed form and pay the filing fee at the court or online.
-
Serve your spouse: Deliver the documents to your spouse, either by someone 18 or older or through a professional service.
-
Wait for a response: If your spouse doesn’t respond within 30 days (in Canada), you can proceed.
-
Finalize the divorce: After filing more paperwork and paying additional fees, the court will issue the divorce order.
