Should I Get Divorced? A Practical Decision Wizard
Deciding whether to divorce is deeply personal — this wizard won't make that decision for you. What it will do is walk you through the practical factors (children, finances, safety, living arrangements) so you can think it through clearly, and get a personalized starting point before you speak with a lawyer.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this wizard tell me whether I should get divorced?
No. Whether to divorce is a personal decision only you can make. This tool organizes the practical, legal, and financial factors relevant to your situation so you can think it through clearly and have a more productive first conversation with a lawyer.
Is my information kept private?
Yes. Your answers are used only to generate your personalized assessment and, if you provide contact details, to follow up about a consultation. We never sell or share your information.
How long does a divorce take in Ontario?
An uncontested divorce typically takes 4–8 months from filing to final order, provided the one-year separation requirement has been met. Contested divorces involving disputed property, support, or parenting issues can take significantly longer.
Do I need a reason to get divorced in Ontario?
Ontario is a no-fault jurisdiction — the vast majority of divorces proceed on the ground of one year of separation, regardless of the reason the marriage broke down. Fault-based grounds (adultery or cruelty) exist but are rarely used, since they require proving fault in court.
What if I have safety concerns?
Safety comes first. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services. If you flagged safety concerns in this wizard, your results will prioritize that — and a lawyer can advise you on protective court orders alongside your broader divorce planning.
