Why Infidelity Still Matters in Ontario Divorce Cases

Infidelity is often an emotionally charged issue for couples, and while Ontario follows a no-fault divorce system, it can still play a role in certain legal matters. Under the Divorce Act, couples in Ontario can obtain a divorce without proving wrongdoing by either spouse. This means that simply proving that one partner was unfaithful is not enough to receive a more favourable property division or spousal support order. The legal test for divorce is usually a one-year separation, regardless of the reason for the marriage breakdown.
