42,933 divorces were filed in Canadian courts in 2020.

Unfortunately, selecting the wrong type of divorce can make the process hectic and time-consuming for you. We suggest you conduct thorough research before opting for a specific divorce.

Let’s learn more about three different types of divorce.

Uncontested Divorce

Don’t want to spend an eternity fighting a divorce case in court? You should file for an uncontested divorce. If you and your spouse have mutually agreed on child custody and division of assets, an uncontested divorce is the right option for you. An uncontested divorce saves your time and money because you don’t have to go through extensive court proceedings.

Joint Divorce

You and your spouse can file for a joint divorce if you want to fast-track the divorce process. You can only file a joint divorce after one year of separation. You should work with your spouse to submit all the relevant documents for the joint divorce. Here’s a list of paperwork you might need:

  • Divorce application
  • Child and spousal support forms
  • Divorce affidavit
  • Financial statements
  • Divorce order
  • Marriage certificate
  • Deduction order

Contested Divorce

You should select a contested divorce when you and your spouse can’t mutually agree on divorce claims. You should file the contested divorce and take your case to court. However, negotiating a divorce deal and fighting your case in court will be challenging if you don’t have the technical expertise. We recommend you hire family lawyers who can guide you accordingly.
