—Foreign Divorces—
What Do You Need in Order to Remarry, If You were Divorced Outside Canada? You may need this letter to show you are no longer married for other purposes. See also the discussion of previous marriages in the article about Divorce. (If children are at issue, you may have to have the courts recognize the foreign custody / access order or you may need to get a fresh Ontario order regarding the children. Consult a lawyer!) What Documents Are Required?
Will the Authority of the Foreign Court Be Recognized? For the divorce to be recognized,
Being a citizen of that other jurisdiction or having been married there is not sufficient on its own. The foreign decision must have complied with the rules of "natural justice". For example, the person being divorce must have a right to notice of the application for divorce. Do you Need A Lawyer? |
