Divorce Lawyer in London, Ontario

Our office offers a complete range of divorce law-related services, from the preparation of simple, uncontested, or joint divorces, to the negotiation and drafting of separation agreements, and when necessary, complex litigation on files involving custody, access, child and spousal support, property, and financial issues.

If you’ve been separated from your spouse for at least one year, and there are no more property, support, or custody & access issues left to be dealt with, then your final step is to seek an uncontested divorce or a simple divorce.

There is a quick intake process, and you will need to provide my office with your marriage certificate (a replacement is easy to order online via Service Ontario if you no longer have your original certificate). The remainder of the process then involves my office preparing your application for the divorce, and serving the documents on your spouse. Your spouse will have thirty days to respond, after which we will move to have your divorce finalized so that you can move on. A simple divorce case without other issues involved can usually be processed in a few months, on a flat-fee basis without hourly fees.

If you have outstanding child access & custody, child support, spousal support, property or matrimonial home issues to resolve, the process is more complicated and a knowledgeable family law lawyer in London can assist you with determining what the best course of action to resolve these matters while seeking your divorce is – be it an Application to the court to determine all of these matters with the divorce, or the negotiation of a separation agreement followed by an application for divorce.
