Divorce doesn’t have to be stressful or expensive. An uncontested divorce, also called a simple divorce, is one of the easiest ways to legally end a marriage in Canada. It’s ideal for couples who agree on everything and want to move on quickly. In this guide, you’ll learn what an uncontested divorce is, how to get one, and how much it costs in Canada.
What is an Uncontested Divorce? (Simple Divorce Definition)
An uncontested divorce, also called a simple divorce, is a legal process where both spouses agree on all the important terms of their separation, including:
- Spousal support: Whether one spouse will pay the other and how much.
- Child custody and support: Agreements on where the children will live and how they’ll be supported financially.
- Division of property and debts: Decisions about how to split belongings, savings, and debts.
Because there are no disputes, this type of divorce avoids court battles, making it faster, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Do You Qualify for an Uncontested Divorce?
To qualify, you must meet these requirements:
- Agreement on all issues: There are no disputes over support, property, or child-related matters.
- Separation for at least one year: You can live in the same home but must act as though you’re no longer together.
- Residency requirement: Either you or your spouse must have lived in a Canadian province for at least 12 months.
If you meet these criteria, you’re eligible for a simple uncontested divorce.
