Ending a relationship is emotional, but the legal process does not have to add confusion, stress, or unnecessary conflict.
For many couples in Ontario, a Simple Divorce (also known as an Uncontested or Joint Divorce) is the most appropriate legal option when both parties are already aligned and want to dissolve the marriage in a respectful, structured, and predictable way.
At Lucero Legal Services, Simple Divorce is handled as a calm, professional legal process, not a battle. Our focus is on clarity, structure, and prevention of errors, so clients can close this chapter properly and move forward with confidence.
Services are available in English and Spanish, and offered virtually across Ontario.
What Is a Simple Divorce in Ontario?
An Uncontested Divorce is available when both spouses agree to end the marriage and no disputes remain regarding parenting, support, or property.
This process focuses exclusively on the legal dissolution of the marriage and avoids court hearings, litigation, and escalation.
A Simple Divorce is appropriate when:
You have been separated for at least 12 months
You were legally married
At least one spouse resides in Ontario
Both parties agree the marriage is over
There are no unresolved disputes related to children or property
When these conditions are met, the divorce can proceed through a structured court filing process, without conflict.
Why a Simple Divorce Works — When Done Properly
A Simple Divorce is not about speed or shortcuts. It works best when the process is
handled carefully and correctly from the beginning.
1. A Calm, Non-Adversarial Process
There are no opposing sides in a Simple Divorce. Both parties move forward together, without confrontation or courtroom conflict.
2. Structured Legal Guidance
This is not a “do-it-yourself” process.Court forms must be accurate, complete, and consistent. Errors can cause delays or rejection.
As a Licensed Paralegal and Family Legal Services Provider (FLSP), I prepare and file all required documents properly and guide clients through each step.
3. Predictable Timelines and Fees
A Simple Divorce offers a clearly defined legal path, with transparent steps and expectations — allowing clients to proceed with certainty, not guesswork.
4. Bilingual (English & Spanish) Divorce Services
Lucero Legal Services is one of the few practices in Ontario offering bilingual simple divorce support. This is especially valuable for Spanish-speaking couples who want clarity and confidence throughout the legal process. Eligibility Form for Spanish Speaking clients.
5. Emotionally Safer Process
Ending a marriage is already emotional. My approach prioritizes emotional safety, patience, and step-by-step guidance so clients always feel supported and informed.
