Post-Divorce Checklist in Ontario
Obtain Your Divorce Certificate
A Certificate of Divorce is an official court document that serves as legal proof that your divorce has been finalized. While the divorce judgment confirms the court’s approval of your divorce, the certificate is a separate document often required for various legal and administrative purposes.
This document is particularly important if you plan to:
- Remarry: In Ontario and across Canada, you cannot remarry without presenting your Certificate of Divorce to prove the dissolution of your previous marriage.
- Resolve financial or legal matters: Certain institutions, such as banks, may require this certificate to process updates related to joint accounts, loans, or property ownership.
