Frequently asked questions

Do I need a lawyer to get a divorce in Canada?

No. You can file for an uncontested or contested divorce as a self-represented litigant in any Canadian province. Court RP is built specifically to help you do this with confidence.

What forms do I need for a divorce in Canada?

The forms depend on your province and whether children or property are involved. Court RP identifies the exact forms you need — for example, in Ontario the Form 8 Divorce Application, in BC the Notice of Family Claim (Form F3) — and links you to the official court document.

How long does a divorce take in Canada?

An uncontested divorce (both parties agree on all issues) typically takes 4 to 6 months after filing. Contested divorces can take 1 to 3 years. Court RP helps you stay organized and move your case forward.

What is the difference between separation and divorce in Canada?

Separation means you and your spouse live apart. You do not need a court order to separate. Divorce is a legal end to the marriage and requires a court order. You must be separated for at least one year before a Canadian court will grant a divorce in most circumstances.
