Uncontested Divorce

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is a legal proceeding in which both spouses mutually agree to dissolve their marriage without significant dispute over key issues such as asset division, child custody, support, or alimony. In most cases, this does not require you to appear in front of a judge.

Swift, cooperative divorce resolving all issues amicably.

In British Columbia, an uncontested divorce (often referred to as a “desk order divorce” is a streamlined process for obtaining a divorce without a court appearance. This is not available where the outstanding issues have either not been agreed to by the parties or determined by the court.

It is important to note that while a desk order divorce is generally straightforward, legal advice is recommended to ensure your rights are protected and that all necessary documents are correctly prepared and filed.

This process is designed to be more efficient and less costly than a contested divorce that requires court appearance and hearings and is only available in situations where agreement has been reached on key issues such as property division, support and parenting matters, or the court has made determinations.
