Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to go to court for an uncontested divorce?
Usually not. In BC, uncontested divorces are generally decided by a judge reviewing the documents, without a hearing.
What if we haven't been separated for a year yet?
You can work out and sign your separation agreement now, then file for divorce once you reach one year of separation.
Do we need a separation agreement first?
It isn't strictly required, but it's strongly recommended. It records how you've settled parenting, support and property.
What if my spouse won't sign anything?
You can apply on your own and serve your spouse. If they don't respond or oppose it, the divorce can often still proceed uncontested.
How long does it take?
It depends mainly on court registry processing times. We'll tell you what to expect when we prepare your filing.

I can't recommend Manvir Hundal and this firm enough. From start to finish, Manvir went above and beyond for me and my family — always available, always straight with us, and fought hard to make sure we got everything we deserved. It's rare to find a lawyer who actually treats your case like it matters, and that's exactly what we got here. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely fight for you, this is who you call. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a lawyer.
