An amicable divorce in Ontario typically takes 4-6 months after the one-year separation period
The timeline for an uncontested divorce in Ontario depends primarily on how efficiently you complete the process after fulfilling the mandatory one-year separation requirement. When both parties agree on all terms, the process moves significantly faster than contested divorces.
Several factors influence the timeline:
- Completion and accuracy of divorce paperwork
- Court processing times in your jurisdiction
- Agreement on key issues like property division, support, and parenting arrangements
- Availability of required documentation
- Whether you’re using a lawyer or filing independently
Working with an experienced family law professional can help streamline the process and ensure all documentation meets Ontario court requirements, potentially reducing delays in obtaining your divorce order.
