Divorce Law:
Questions and Answers

[ Table of Contents | Next ]

Introduction

Deciding to end a marriage is difficult. You have to deal with huge emotional issues and make many tough decisions. You also need to know your legal rights and responsibilities. This booklet tells you a few of the basic things you need to know about getting a divorce in Canada. It also talks about the requirements for getting a divorce, some of the forms you have to fill out, how to set up living arrangements for your children, child support, spousal support, and the sharing of property and debt.

This booklet cannot tell you all you will need to know. It cannot replace the advice and help that you can get from a lawyer as you go through the divorce process. Other resources that might be helpful, such as mediators and information centers or programs, are listed on the More Information page.
