How Long Does It Take to Get a Divorce Order in Ontario?

Many clients ask how long it will take to finalize a divorce. The timeline can vary, as it largely depends on court processing times and the specific circumstances of each case. Generally, we see an average court processing time of about 4 to 6 months. It also depends on the number of applications the Court receives at a certain time.

For a Simple (uncontested) or Joint Divorce, the process is generally more straightforward. However, there is no guaranteed timeline, as delays may occur depending on the Court’s workload and whether all documents are properly completed.

What Affects the Timeline?

The length of time to obtain a divorce order may be impacted by:

• Court processing times
• Whether documents are complete and accurate
• How quickly your spouse is served
