Previously, decision-making responsibility and parenting time were called custody and access. The court sends this form to the Department of Justice. The department reviews a database to ensure that no other divorce applications have been filed for you and your partner in Canada. If there are no further applications, they send a certificate of authorization to the court. The court must obtain this certificate before granting you a divorce.

However, the court cannot grant you a divorce if no child benefit or other support arrangement has been made for the children. The divorce decree has a date on which it enters into force. This is usually 31 days after the date of the divorce order. This is the date on which you legally divorce. You must swear or confirm that the information in your form is true before signing it.

The Help Centre was created in response to a growing number of people who could not afford a lawyer and who represented themselves. .
