Divorce at Cohen Highley LLP
Divorce
A Separation Agreement indicates that a couple has made the decision to live apart, while a Divorce is the official ending of a marriage recognized by a court. Grounds for divorce in Canada include the following: you have been living apart for one year or more, your spouse has been physically abusive or mentally cruel to you, or your spouse has committed adultery. Obtaining a Divorce involves a formal process that is not always straightforward and is best navigated by a Family Lawyer.
