An uncontested divorce works when both spouses agree on property division, support, and parenting arrangements. For Brampton residents who want to finalize without conflict, a joint application typically takes four to six months and requires no court appearances.
Our lawyers manage the process by confirming that asset division, spousal support, and child support terms are complete and enforceable. This includes verifying that pension valuations are accurate and that parenting schedules address decision-making responsibility. Once everything is confirmed, the court grants the divorce without a hearing.
