Divorce is when you or your spouse declares that you don't want to be married anymore. You've decided to end the marriage, and your partner may or may not agree with your decision. You can apply for a divorce in Canada if you've been legally married for at least one calendar year in any country. If your spouse cheated on you or was abusive to you by mental or physical actions during your first year of separation, you no longer have to wait for the 12-month period to pass. In such cases, you can immediately apply for a divorce. However, you should still show that this is the case to the judge. Once you have met the court's requirements, it is essential to know that the court cannot approve your divorce application before the date of your first court hearing. You can agree with your spouse to file a joint application for divorce. The court usually needs several months to process your application for divorce.
