An uncontested divorce with mutual agreement is the simplest path to divorce in Canada
The most straightforward approach to divorce involves both spouses reaching a mutual agreement on key issues before filing. This type of uncontested divorce typically requires less time, money, and emotional stress than contested proceedings.
To streamline the divorce process:
- Work with a divorce mediator to facilitate discussions and agreements
- Consult a certified divorce financial analyst to handle asset division
- Prepare all required documentation together, including separation agreements
- File joint divorce papers at your local courthouse
- Consider using online divorce services for simple, uncontested cases
Most provinces require a one-year separation period before granting a divorce, though you can begin the paperwork and negotiations during this time.
