Married for two months to a non-Canadian

The regular divorce rules apply. As long as one or both of you have ordinarily resided in a Canadian province for a minimum of one year prior to the commencement of a divorce Application then a divorce Application may be commenced. The fact that he is not Canadian would then be irrelevant to the issues of when and where a divorce may be commenced.

In order to obtain a divorce one of three grounds must be proven:

1. Adultery;
2. Cruelty; or
3. Living separate and apart for more than one year.

There is no “faster” way to obtain a divorce for anybody. You are welcome to telephone me at 877-668-9386 for a free consultation, if you wish.
