How long does it take for a divorce to be final in Canada?

I am just getting everything together to start my divorce. Once I fill out the papers and send them in, how long do I have to wait before the divorce is final?(examples: how long do I have to wait before I can marry again?) Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks|||First you have to have been living apart for one year. Then you can officially file for divorce. The divorce is final approximately 30 days from the date you filed.





The problem a lot of people run into though is when one person either contests it, or keeps changing things in the separation agreement. My boyfriend's soon-to-be ex keeps thinking of new things to change in the child custody agreement, so he can't file for divorce until everything is to her liking. It's also hard to prove to a judge whether the other person is actually unsatisfied with the agreement or is just stalling to be spiteful, which can be very frustrating. Good luck!|||Actually, you CAN file for divorce at ANYtime in Canada. It just won't be granted until one year has passed.





As long as it is an uncontested divorce, it will take approximately 3 months from the time you file the paper work until the day your divorce is over. It depends on how backlogged the courts are in your area.|||You have to have been living apart for one year. Then you can file for a divorce.
