When it comes to separation or divorce, you don't have to face this process alone. Here at GTA Divorce Lawyers, we provide you with simple explanations, dependable legal advice and support, and a guiding hand every step of the way.
What We Offer:
In Ontario, you can be considered "separated" as soon as the relationship ends, even if both of you are still living together under one roof. Divorce, on the other hand, is the legal dissolution of a marriage granted by the court under the Divorce Act.
While a formal application is needed for divorce, it's not needed for separation. In many cases, separation agreements or parenting plans are needed immediately to help formalize arrangements around parenting, property, and support.

Under the Family Law Act in Ontario, as well as the Divorce Act, separation means living separate and apart without the need for any paperwork or court filings. It is defined as living separately and apart from each other with the intent to end the relationship.
Separating with a written parenting, support, and property agreement provides legal clarity and security, helps avoid future disputes, and makes it easier to complete your uncontested divorce, since all the critical issues are addressed at the beginning of the separation.
We understand why clients search for "Divorce lawyers near me". When you're facing a divorce, having a local divorce lawyer who knows local courts, processes, and community support systems helps clients get through the process quicker and with more confidence.

You begin by speaking with a lawyer, gathering your personal and financial information, and preparing the appropriate court application to start the divorce process formally.
No, a separation agreement is not required to file for divorce in Ontario. However, having one in place helps resolve major issues early, making the divorce process significantly faster and smoother.
Divorce timelines vary. Uncontested divorces may take only a few months, while contested divorces can take much longer. Timing depends on disclosure, complexity, and court availability.
Decision-making responsibility is based on the child's best interests, focusing on safety, stability, routines, and each parent's ability to meet the child's emotional and physical needs.
Both married spouses have equal legal rights to the matrimonial home. Its value is usually shared equally between the spouses under Ontario's equalization of property rules.
