DIVORCE

At  Rogers Law Firm, we understand that going through separation or divorce  from a spouse is a very emotionally difficult time. That is why we  engage you in the process and help you better understand what is  happening with your matter each step of the way. 


Craig T. Rogers  has over 30 years of experience practicing in Family Law Courts in the  East Region including Ottawa, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Perth,  and Lanark County.

Overview


As per the Divorce Act in Canada a breakdown in marriage is deemed only have to occurred when:

  • The spouses have lived separate and apart for at least one year prior to the divorce proceedings;   OR
  • One  spouse has committed adultery or has inflicted physical or mental  cruelty on the other person to the point where their continued  cohabitation is intolerable.


Where To Start 

If you have recently separated from your partner, please refer to our Separation section for more information. 

If you have been living separate and apart for one year then you can legally apply to be divorced from your spouse. 

The court will need to be satisfied that the following matters have been resolved before they issue a divorce:

  • Proper access and custody arrangements of your children have been made;
  • Child support and spousal support arrangements have been made;
  • Property has been divided and equalized.


What You Need


You will generally need one of the following documents in order to obtain a divorce:

  • Separation Agreement (if yourself and your spouse had one made)
  • Court  Order that satisfies access and custody of children, child and spousal  support, and division of property. (If you went through the court  process)


You will also need:

  • The original copy or a certified copy of your marriage license.
