Important information about filing a sole or joint divorce in Ontario.
Grounds for divorce in Ontario.
In Ontario, there is only one ground for divorce: a breakdown of the marriage. This can be established in one of three ways:
- Separation: The spouses have lived separate and apart for at least one year with no chance of reconciliation.
- Adultery: One spouse has committed adultery and the other spouse cannot tolerate living with them.
- Cruelty: One spouse has treated the other spouse with physical or mental cruelty that makes it intolerable to continue living together.
While there are three ways to establish a breakdown of the marriage, divorce based on separation is the most common type of divorce filing in Ontario. One of the main reasons for this is because it is a simpler process and most parties are usually already separated for 12 months when they decide to file for divorce.
Since the Covid-19 Pandemic, the government has completely changed the system for filing a divorce in Ontario. You can now file your divorce completely online through the government portal but the various forms and the process can be tricky at times. It may be a good idea to seek legal advice depending on your particular situation.
