Understanding Contested Divorce in Ontario
What is a Contested Divorce?
A contested divorce is one in which both spouses do not agree on key terms of their separation, such as:
- Child custody and parenting arrangements
- Division of assets and debts
- Spousal support and child support
Unlike an uncontested divorce, where both parties agree to the terms and simply need a judge’s approval, a contested divorce can be a lengthy and complex legal process. These cases often require multiple court appearances, evidence submissions, and witness testimonies before a judge makes a final ruling.
