Frequently Asked Questions: Family & Divorce Law in Grimsby

Timelines for divorce in Grimsby and Ontario can vary significantly depending on whether your divorce is contested or uncontested. For uncontested divorces, you may be able to file your paperwork and sign your separation agreement within a few months. 

For contested divorces, reaching a settlement can take anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on whether you and your former spouse must engage in mediation, arbitration, or take your case to court.

Although grandparents do not have an automatic right to custody or access (now called decision-making responsibility and parenting time), they can apply for custody rights in Ontario. Whether they are granted sole, partial, or shared custody will be up to the courts, who primarily take into account the child’s best interests when making such decisions. 

Decision-making responsibility and parenting time were formerly referred to as custody and access, until changes to the Divorce Act were made in 2021. Accordingly, parenting time refers to the time that a child lives with or spends with a parent, while decision-making responsibility refers to the authority that a parent has to make major life choices for a child. This might include medical decisions, education, religion, and more.
