Start Your Divorce Today

Joint Divorce is signed by both spouses and is typically faster. A joint divorce is available regardless of where your spouse resides. Some provinces, such as BC, Alberta and Ontario, allow documents to be exchanged electronically. Documents can be exchanged by mail or courier in the other provinces and territories.

Sole Divorce is signed by only one spouse and is personally served on the other spouse by someone outside the marriage who is at least 18 years old. A sole divorce must be initiated by the spouse who currently resides in the Province/Territory that you want to file in and who has resided in that Province/Territory for a minimum of one year prior to starting a divorce proceeding.

*Sole Divorces Only - Third party process serving fees are not included and can range from $150 to $350. We can arrange this for you or you can arrange this yourself. Due to the complexity of international serving of legal documents, our service is not available for a sole divorce if the divorce documents need to be served on your spouse outside of Canada or USA.

A child of the marriage is a "child who is under the *'age of majority and who has not withdrawn from your charge".
