Complete preparation of all of the forms required to obtain a simple* (uncontested or joint) divorce in Ontario, Canada. The following services are provided at no additional charge: (i) filing of the Ontario divorce forms for you in the appropriate court; (ii) serving your spouse with a copy of the filed Application for Divorce by regular mail; and (iii) commissioning of the required affidavits***.
*A ‘simple’ divorce is one in which you are only asking the court for a divorce only and nothing else (such as spousal support, division of property, child custody/access/support, etc.). **A joint divorce requires both spouses to sign all of the Ontario divorce paperwork. A sole/uncontested Ontario divorce is when one spouse files the divorce and the other spouse is served with copy after it is filed. See this for more info about the process.. ***Read more about these services towards the bottom of this page.

**Your spouse resides outside of Canada: If you are doing a ‘sole’ divorce and your spouse resides in a ‘Hague Convention’ jurisdiction, additional fees start at $600 and go up from there (unless your spouse resides in a jurisdiction that allows Hague Service by mail in which case there are no additional fees if they are cooperative with service by mail). Please read this for more information about serving your out-of-Canada spouse.  You can avoid these additional fees if you do a ‘joint’ divorce.

Serving Your Spouse – Unless the court orders otherwise, your spouse must be given a copy of the Application for divorce after it is filed with the court.

By mail – FREE: This is done by DivorceFile.ca at no additional cost to you. Your spouse must sign & mail back an acknowledgement of service form that will be included with the mailed papers.

In Person – If your spouse is not cooperative with service by mail, or if you just prefer that he/she be served in person, you must arrange for personal service (either by a relative, friend or by a professional process server) at your own expense. We do not arrange personal service for you – however we tell you what you need to do. Any adult can serve your spouse other than you. Whoever serves your spouse will have to swear an Affidavit of Service which we will prepare.

Hague Service – If your spouse resides outside of Canada, service under the Hague Convention might be required. Please read the information posted here.

Swearing required Affidavit for Divorce – Your purchase includes swearing of the required affidavit for divorce through video conference (we use Zoom). If you are not able to do this electronically and require an in-person appointment of our office in Toronto, there is an additional fee of $50 + hst.

Misc. Fees

Some courts only accept bank drafts or money orders. If your bank charges for this, you may incur that fee as well.

If you live outside of Canada and must pay the court’s fees with a credit card or PayPal, there will be a 4% surcharge.
