  1. How to get divorced in Ottawa? BY: https://kerryfoxfamilylaw.com/

  2. ​The only way that you can be granted a divorce in any part of Canada is that you have to come up with a strong argument that your marriage is broken as well as there is no way it can be resolved back to normal. Talking about the present, there are two methods available that can help you legally prove the unsuccessfulness of your marriage. • -The first method is by completing a one-year separation from your partner • -The other method is providing valid proof of abuse or adultery. • The former is known as “The No-Fault Divorce” which is a highly popular form of divorce in Ottawa. Let us understand both these laws in brief that would help you estimate the cost of divorce in Ontario as well as help you collect all the relevant information to plan out your finances.

  3. One Year Separation –”The No-Fault Divorce” • First of all, let me clarify the fact that you do not need to wait for one whole year in order to apply for a divorce in Canada. You can start the process the moment you and your partner are separated. However, the court takes its time and would be granting you the singlehood status back once you have completed the one year separation period.

  4. The separation here does not mean isolating you from each other. Nor does it force you and your spouse to live at different addresses and in no contact with each other. It simply means that you are living your own independent lives without interrupting your partner's daily routine. • However, the simplest way to prove this point is by not staying together which would not complicate the separation process and it would be easy for the court as well as for your divorce lawyer to prove your point. However, due to your financial conditions (or even because of your children), if it is not possible for you to live in separate houses, in that case, you can live together. But, this would make the divorce process even more complicated as you would have to prove that you and your partner by no means have been living together as a couple and are having their isolated lives.

  5. If you and your spouse are separated and plan to get back together, you do not need to begin the separation period all over again. The only time the court will demand you to restart your separation period are if you get back together for a period of more than 90 days or for several short periods amounting to 90 days total or more than that.

  6. Thus, this law not only helps you to give a second thought to your marriage but also helps you to get back together and thus comes out to be the most efficient and highly inexpensive one, which is why hiring divorce lawyers in Ottawa for this law isn't much of a difficult procedure. • However, we do understand that your situation may be unique and different from the others and it is highly advisable to consult a divorce lawyer before planning on anything.

  7. Adultery or Cruelty –The Divorce wherein the partner is accused • The couples that wish to file a divorce based on cruelty or adultery, fall under the category of “For Fault Divorce”. This simply means that you are trying to prove that your spouse is completely at fault for breaking this marriage and you are innocent. • It is important to keep yourself prepared when you are filing for divorce under this category, as the court demands you to have proof of the exact events that occurred to validate your claim. Not only are they highly expensive, they also turn out to be unnecessarily lengthy, difficult and emotionally hurting.

  8. Due to the backlog system of our courts, this process also ends up taking a year or even more time than that and this is the reason why one-year separation is always recommended rather than the latter type of divorce.

  9. Conclusion: • It is always important to understand the fact that on whatever grounds you are planning for divorce, or whatsoever claims have been resting on the other, all of this has no impact on the final decision of court regarding the access to your children and the custody. • We understand your trauma and the difficulties you might be going through and hence recommend you to get in touch with us at (613) 224-4400 and have all your questions answered.
