What is the procedure, what are the fees, and how long does it take to get Divorced? in Ontario?

First all, obtain and complete the Application for Divorce. Take it to the appropriate court (if you live in Toronto it would be the Toronto court house at 393 University Avenue) with a cheque for $167.00 and have it issued.  Once you get the issued application back (usually that very same day if you go yourself) you then have it served on the “Respondent.”

Then wait 30 days from the date he or she is served. If they do not respond (if uncontested they will not respond) then obtain and complete your Affidavit of Divorce, Clerk’s Certificate, and Divorce Order envelopes and submit these to the court along with a cheque for $280.00 to have the matter set down. The court states that once its set down it takes 4 – 6 weeks to receive your issued Divorce Order. However, it has been know to be longer – that is 2 or 3 months.

Once you receive your issued Divorce Order you have to wait the 30 days from the time the Divorce Order was granted and then you can apply for your Certificate of Divorce with the court and their fee is $19.00.
