Uncontested Divorce Lawyers

Uncontested Divorce Lawyers in Vancouver, BC

An uncontested divorce is a divorce where the parties (the couple separating) resolve all of their legal issues by negotiating with each other and signing a separation agreement. The parties have to reach an agreement on the following topics:

What property is family property and what property is separate property of the spouses.
Division of family property and debt.
Spousal support payments.
Child support payments.
Parenting issues, parental responsibilities, and parenting time.
Once the parties have an agreement, they can use that agreement to obtain an uncontested divorce through a process called a “desk order divorce”. A desk order divorce is an order of a judge of the Supreme Court of British Columbia that is obtained without a hearing. To obtain a desk order divorce, the applicants starts by submitting all the required documents to the registry. The registry then reviews those documents (and will reject them if they are incomplete). If the documents have issues, they will be rejected by the registry and have to be submitted and reviewed again. The review process can and will take months for each time the documents are submitted.

Once all the required documents have been correctly prepared and submitted, a judge will review them, and if the judge agrees that the divorce is uncontested and all issues have been resolved between the parties, she will sign the desk order divorce order declaring the spouses divorced from each other.

An uncontested divorce in Canada means spouses resolve property, debt, support, and parenting matters through a signed separation agreement, then request a desk-order divorce at the Supreme Court of British Columbia—without a hearing. This process is legally valid but requires complete filings, correct asset classification, income-based support tables, and proper corporate or pension disclosures to remain enforceable and compliant with Canadian law. Pax Law Corporation helps couples move through these steps smoothly—without promising outcomes or replacing legal judgment.
