Uncontested Divorce: How Paralegals Simplify the Process

Going through a divorce is never easy, but it doesn’t have to be a long, stressful, and expensive battle. If both parties can agree on the terms of their separation, an uncontested divorce offers a straightforward and cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation. 

Whether you’re seeking an uncontested divorce in  Calgary, Edmonton, or anywhere in Alberta,  working with experienced paralegals like Divorce EZ can make the process smoother, less stressful, and more affordable. 

To proceed with an uncontested divorce in Alberta, the following basic requirements must be met:

• Residency – At least one spouse must have resided in Alberta for one year before filing.
• Separation – A minimum one-year separation or proof of adultery or cruelty.
• Documentation – The completion and filing of necessary divorce forms required by the Alberta Courts
• Marriage Certificate – Submission of the government-issued marriage certificate is mandatory if the marriage took place within Canada

At Divorce EZ, we manage the entire uncontested divorce application process. Whether you’re filing a joint application with both parties or require a sole application, we’re here to assist. Our expert guidance ensures a smooth journey toward obtaining your divorce certificate.

Uncontested divorces offer numerous advantages:

• Emotional Well-being – Less emotional turmoil compared to court battles.
• Financial Savings – Substantially lower legal fees than a contested divorce.
• Time-Efficient – Quicker processing and resolution times.
• Reduced Stress – Since both parties maintain control over their decisions, they experience a conflict-free transition into post-marriage life.

To be eligible for an uncontested divorce, parties must meet specific requirements, as follows:

• Valid Grounds – Irreconcilable breakdown of the marriage due to separation, adultery, or cruelty.

For marriages involving a history of abuse, financial disputes, or one party disagreeing with the terms of the divorce, an uncontested divorce may not be the best option.

At Divorce EZ, we go beyond simple document preparation, providing compassionate and comprehensive support throughout your divorce journey. Our team includes experienced paralegals, mediators, financial planners, and accountants, all working together to help you navigate this life transition with confidence and clarity.

Unlike traditional law firms that may advocate litigation, our approach is focused on avoiding unnecessary legal battles and expensive fees. We believe in helping parties find amicable and fair resolutions, making the process as stress-free as possible. 

While we specialize in amicable separations, we recognize that not all divorces go exactly as planned. If challenges arise in reaching an agreement, we collaborate with trusted third-party lawyers to provide the necessary legal support, ensuring that you have access to professional legal advice when needed.

Any outstanding issues hindering the divorce are clarified to the clients. Once our paralegals gather the required information and prepare the documentation to begin the divorce process, the divorce certificate is on its way!
