Ontario’s Attorney General Chris Bentley announced this week some much-anticipated changes to the province’s divorce process. The changes are to make the divorce process quicker, cheaper and more peaceful. The details are still to come. We look forward to hearing more details.
Here are some points about the new process:
- will allow greater access to legal advice earlier in the divorce process
- will come into effect March 1, 2010
- to be implemented in two pilot jurisdictions: Brampton and Milton, and then eventually throughout the province
- no new public funding – all funds will come from a pool of $150 million previously earmarked for Ontario’s Legal Aid program
We want to hear from divorce professionals, especially those in Ontario as to what they think about these changes. Please post your comments here.
