Are you looking for the best and easiest way to divorce in Ontario? It may surprise you to learn that default is the easiest method. Let me explain what a lawsuit really is to help you understand how you can get an Ontario default divorce. A lawsuit is a civil action that is brought before a court. A lawsuit has two parties. In a divorce case, these are the Petitioner (the Respondent) and the Petitioner (the petitioner). The judge is the impartial authority that conducts the case if the case reaches court.

A divorce case must be fair. Both parties must be equal. If one side doesn’t know or suspects that a divorce is imminent, this cannot be done. It is necessary that the Respondent be served with the divorce papers by the Petitioner. To make it clear, the Petitioner files for divorce. The Respondent is the other party. Let’s discuss it a bit more, since serving divorce papers is an essential part of obtaining a simple divorce in Ontario.

Who gets served first? Both the Summons (the Petition) and the Petition (the divorce papers) are served to the spouse who is not present.

Second, who is eligible to serve? The Petitioner cannot serve. In reality, either spouse cannot serve but most people can. These guidelines should be followed. You must be at least 18 years of age. You can choose a relative, but you should not pick someone you aren’t related to.

The Proof of Service is a third important aspect when you are seeking a simple divorce in Ontario by default. This is a declaration that you have taken specific steps to serve papers on your spouse so that the court can verify that the notice was properly handled.
