Foreign Divorce Opinion Letter
Divorced outside of Canada and remarrying? Before applying for your Ontario marriage licence, ask us for a foreign divorce opinion letter.
Since you are not permitted to be married to more than one person at once in Canada, your application must show you are legally divorced or your marriage was annulled. Foreign divorces are usually recognized in Canada, as long as you or your spouse lived there for at least a year before divorcing or have a “real and substantial connection” such as being born and returning there after divorcing, owning property or visiting often. Be aware “quicky” divorces in foreign countries may not be recognized.
We help you obtain copies and prepare and file the right documents. Our fees are affordable and we respond quickly.
