These marriages are the ones that you feel lost and feel the need to end the whole process. Divorcing the spouse can be a complicated process to go through, but if you are lucky enough to get an uncontested divorce, then it can be easier.

No one teaches you how to break up. In love and war, emotions play high. Often, a race to the courthouse to file for divorce can occur. But, there is another way to break up that may not only be in the best interests of “the wallet,” but also in the best interests of any minor children involved.

Parties can file divorce on their own (or pro se), but more often than not, at least one spouse will retain an attorney. The attorney’s retainer is rarely less than ,000.00. Not every couple has a spare ,000.00 to spend on two attorneys – and the retainer is likely just the beginning.

Where to begin is probably one of the first questions you will be looking for answers to when the decision has been made to end your marriage. Once you have accepted that this is going to be a reality, you need to take stock of what direction the two of you will follow as far as the actual divorce proceeding.

Is online divorce filing in Ontario available? The short answer is No.

You should be able to but the government in Ontario continues to administer its court system ignoring the availability of technology that would make it possible. 

As I wrote recently, while your Ontario Application for Divorce and Separation Agreements can be generated online using services like MyOntarioDivorce, the paperwork will have to be filed offline at the Ontario Family Court where you live. You can find a list of Ontario Family Court locations by visiting the Attorney General website.

Question by caligrrl: Am I still married? And how do I file for uncontested divorce online if my ex and I live in different states?
My ex-husband and I were only married about a year. We got married in a state neither of us currently live in. We have now been separated since 1999, a year after we got married. At one point he filed for divorce and sent me the docs; I signed and notarized them and sent them back. Apparently he moved and said he never got them and says we are still married.

I need to get this divorce handled asap as I am engaged to someone else and he wants to put me on his insurance in a few weeks. He also does not know about this situation and thinks I am divorced. My questions are: a) Is there some public registry where I can find out if indeed we ARE still officially married? b) He lives in one state, I live in another, and we got married in a complete other state. Do I have to file in the state that we were married in? c) Are there any low cost reputable online divorce sites other than LegalZoom, which is not low cost?
