Flat-Fee, No Court Appearance

What Qualifies as an Uncontested Divorce?


Ontario divorce law allows a no-fault divorce when:


  • You've been separated for at least one year, or
  • You cite adultery or mental/physical cruelty as grounds


➡️ Most couples use the separation route since it’s straightforward and less emotionally taxing.


Eligibility Requirements


To file in Ontario:


  1. At least one spouse must have lived in Ontario for at least 12 months prior to filing
  2. You must demonstrate the marriage has broken down, typically via separation. If filing based on adultery or cruelty, the court may require proof


➡️ A short reconciliation period (up to 90 days) does not reset the separation clock

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What is a sole uncontested divorce?

    A sole uncontested divorce is filed by one spouse, but the other spouse does not oppose or contest it. 


    This allows the process to move forward smoothly, without court battles — even if your spouse is uncooperative.

  • 2. Do I need to prove fault like adultery or cruelty?

    No. Most people file based on one year of separation, which is the simplest and most accepted reason. 


    Adultery and cruelty are allowed in rare cases, but they require additional legal steps and evidence.

  • 3. How long do we need to be separated before I can file?itional legal steps and evidence.

    You must be separated for at least one full year before filing. However, a short period of reconciliation (up to 90 days) won’t reset the clock.

  • 4. Can I still file if I don’t know where my spouse lives?

    Yes — there are alternative service methods if your spouse cannot be found, including court-approved substitutes. We’ll help you navigate this process.

  • 5. Do I have to go to court?

    Not at all. With a sole uncontested divorce, everything is handled through documents. No court appearance is required in most cases.

  • 6. How long does it take to finalize a sole divorce in Ontario?

    Most sole divorces take 3 to 5 months to complete, depending on court processing times and whether you already have your marriage certificate.

    Yes — we help clients across Ontario, fully virtually. Documents, signatures, and consultations can all be handled remotely. In-person is available by request.
