Simple Divorce Services
in Ontario.
Practical help with eligible simple, joint and uncontested divorce-only applications. Serving Ontario | Remote and by appointment.
Every matter is screened before acceptance. A call request does not confirm eligibility or create a paralegal-client relationship.
Ending the marriage.
One defined legal step.
A simple divorce application asks the court to legally end a marriage. One spouse applies, and the other spouse does not oppose the divorce. A joint application is made by both spouses together.
“Simple” describes the type of application. It does not mean that every separation qualifies, that the court will automatically grant a divorce, or that other family issues are resolved.
This service covers eligible divorce-only matters. A divorce does not itself settle parenting, property division, child support or spousal support.
Who may qualify?
We review your circumstances, court jurisdiction, documents and the scope of the application before confirming whether we can assist.
Book an eligibility call- You are seeking a divorce-only application, rather than an annulment or additional family claims.
- The application is joint or uncontested, and the divorce is not opposed.
- Both spouses ordinarily reside in Canada.
- The Ontario court has jurisdiction and the legal requirements for divorce can be met.
- Any children and existing support arrangements can be properly addressed in the divorce materials.
When a family lawyer may be needed
Contested divorce, parenting disputes, property claims and support claims in the divorce application fall outside this divorce-only service. A spouse living outside Canada, a request to sever a divorce from other claims, or a need to draft or advise on a separation agreement also requires a scope review and may require referral. We reassess scope if the file changes.

Before you book.
Does a divorce settle all of our family issues?
No. A divorce legally ends the marriage. Parenting, property and support issues may need separate legal advice or proceedings. This service does not include resolving those claims.
Can you assist if we have children?
Children do not automatically rule out a divorce-only application, but the court must be satisfied about reasonable child-support arrangements. We review the relevant records and refer matters outside our authorized scope.
What if my spouse contests the matter?
We reassess whether the matter remains within FLSP scope. A contested divorce or additional family claims may require a family lawyer.
Can everything be handled remotely?
We serve Ontario remotely and by appointment. We confirm signing, identification, commissioning, service and original-document arrangements for your file.
How long will it take?
Timing depends on eligibility, complete documents, service, required clearance, court processing and any issues raised. We discuss the anticipated steps after reviewing your circumstances; we do not promise a fixed completion date.
Book an initial eligibility call.
Request a call with GL Paralegal Services to discuss whether your matter fits our eligible divorce-only service. Include your name, phone number and a few suitable times.
The booking button opens an email request. An appointment is confirmed separately after availability and any applicable call fee are discussed. Please do not send confidential documents. Contacting us does not create a paralegal-client relationship.
