The Divorce Act sets federal regulations, but superior courts have jurisdiction over divorces that occur in their province or territory. While court processes may vary, you’ll generally take the same steps to file for divorce:
Prepare the divorce papers (e.g., a court application form, your Separation Agreement, and other supporting documents)
Submit the papers to the appropriate court (online or in person)
Serve a copy of the divorce papers to your spouse (who must verify this with their signature)
