How Divorce Works in Ontario
In Ontario, divorce is governed by Canada’s Divorce Act. To get a divorce, your marriage must have broken down. In most cases, this means being separated for at least 12 months.
Divorce ends the marriage. Separation is when you start living apart. You do not need a court order to be separated, but you do need one to be legally divorced.
Many couples first sort out property, support, and parenting through a separation agreement. The divorce order comes later. We advise you on the best sequence for your situation.

Spousal Support in Toronto
Spousal support is not automatic. Entitlement to support depends on different factors, including:
- Length of the relationship
- Standard of living during the relationship
- Income and financial circumstances
- Parenting responsibilities
- Employment during the relationship
- Age and health
If you are uncertain whether you may qualify for support or are responding to a claim, reviewing your situation with a Spousal Support Lawyer in Toronto can clarify what outcomes may be reasonable.
