Find out the earliest date you're eligible to be granted a divorce on the 1-year separation ground in Ontario.
Estimate only — not legal advice. Adultery and cruelty grounds don't require a waiting period.This can be the date one spouse moved out, or the date you began living separate lives while still under the same roof.
The most common, no-fault ground — simply living separate and apart for a full year.
You can be legally "separated" while still living in the same home, if you're living separate lives.
These grounds require no waiting period, but proving them is often costly and rarely necessary.
You can start your application before the 1-year mark — the divorce just can't be finalized until then.
