Divorces
At S. Cahill Law, we understand that going through a divorce can be one of the most difficult experiences in a person’s life. It affects you, your partner, your kids, and even your extended family. Our goal is to help our clients navigate the legal process with confidence and ease, and to ensure that their rights and interests are protected throughout.
Couples who wish to end their relationship do not have to go through the process of obtaining a divorce, as they have the option to simply separate and draft a separation agreement. However, divorce is necessary if one or both spouses wishes to be remarried. In such case, a formal judgement must be made on behalf of a court with proper jurisdiction. After a divorce is granted, you can request your certificate of divorce.
Grounds for Divorce:
A breakdown of the marriage is the most common reason for divorce in Canada, and it is based on one of the following three grounds:
- Separation of at least one year: This requires that the spouses have been living apart from each other for a minimum of one year prior to filing for divorce. Although the application for divorce can be submitted at any time, the court will not grant the divorce until one full year of separation has been achieved.
- Adultery: This means that one spouse has engaged in sexual intercourse with someone else other than their spouse.
- Cruelty: This means that one spouse has subjected the other to physical or mental cruelty of such a nature that it is no longer possible for them to live together.
