Things to Consider Before You Start Your divorce

Do you really need to divorce?
This writer firmly believes that it is just too easy to take flight from a relationship that has gone south.

Your marriage may have evaporated months or years ago, but it is still not a good reason to walk away without an attempt to fix things. Sometimes the answer to relationship problems is not the legal act of getting divorced, maybe you owe it to yourself and to your spouse to examine the alternatives.

Marriage counseling can help you to resolve your issues. Money counseling is always a good idea. Parenting class can be a blessing. A period of separation may give each of you time to “take a break”. An alternative to divorce is separation. A related topic Separation looks at separation issues and separation agreements.

While you are not the first person on the planet facing the prospect of divorce, your situation and your life is uniquely yours. You will get through this, you will recover, and your life will move on.

How to Divorce.
Traditionally people used to turn to a lawyer. Methods have changed and people realize that using a lawyer is not necessarily a good call. Because all parties must follow the Divorce Act and the Child Support Guidelines you do not need to complicate things with the traditional adversarial approach of lawyers.

Look at it this way. If children are involved the guidelines will dictate how much child support you will get, or give. Divorcing couples can not make their own child support arrangements. It is also a myth that you need your spouse’s permission or approval. It only takes one person to seek divorce.

The courts encourage you to come to terms about property and money things. You can do this with a valid separation agreement. If you can not negotiate an agreement then the alternative is to abandon the hopes of having an agreement signed, or to seek legal counsel. Stats Canada estimates that 90% of divorcing couples do not need a law firm to take control of their divorce and money.

Each province has it’s own way of doing things. Basically in each province the steps are:

Gather your information, decide which forms meet your circumstances, fill in the forms. File your first set of papers in the right court. Wait for clearance from the Divorce Registry in Ottawa. While you are waiting you conduct ‘service’ according to the rules of court procedure. Wait the prescribed number of days and hope the other side does not file a dispute. File the second set of papers and your Affidavits. File Motions and financial statements as requested. Wait for a court decision. (In some provinces you are required to take a parenting class as part of the divorce process).
