Based on your question I assume that you have already commenced a Court Application dealing with multiple issues, including property division, in a certain jurisdiction. If you have done so then you are not allowed to also file an Application in a different jurisdiction seeking the same relief. This would be known as a multiplicity of proceedings. That is not allowed. It may be possible for you to either transfer the existing Application to a different jurisdiction or discontinue it and commence it in a new jurisdiction, depending on your facts; however I cannot provide any such comments without first speaking with you so as to gain the necessary information. You are welcome to contact me at 877-668-9386 for a free consultation.

(The information provided above is general, not legal advice, as circumstances vary from case to case. As well, generally speaking, the above information relates to Ontario law. Thus, if you wish legal advice that you can rely upon for your specific case, or if you are making inquiries where Ontario law may not apply, please contact Douglas Briand for a free consultation).
