Ontario
Simple* (sole/uncontested or joint**) Divorce:
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 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 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
divorce paperwork. A sole/uncontested 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. ***Read more

add undisclosed 'disbursements' than may bring their advertised
total to much higher than you were expecting. The only

Swearing
Affidavits

forms required to obtain your divorce is a sworn affidavit. 'Swearing'
or 'commissioning' occurs in the
presence of a commissioner of oaths (lawyer, notary public,
justice of the peace, court clerk, etc.).
Our
commissioner of oaths is located at Yonge & St. Clair in
Toronto. So, if you live outside of the GTA, you'll have
to cover the cost have having your affidavit(s) sworn locally -
or you can have it commissioned for free at many government
offices. Instructions will be provided.

range from $50 to $125: Please read
