Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

You can find some detailed information in our Settlement.Org How can I get a divorce in Ontario? article.

Here is an excerpt,

Before starting a divorce, it is recommended that you seek legal advice from an expert in family law. An expert such as a lawyer can tell you how the law applies to your case and how you can protect your rights. You can find a lawyer or ask for some information and referrals at a Family Law Information Centre in an Ontario family court.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.

Hello,

I’ve heard that in some cases after the court decides to sell joint property, the funds are frozen for some time (could be a very long time), and are not split between the ex partners. My question is in which cases this happens, and if one of the partners refuses to collaborate (does something that makes the court to freeze the funds), what could the other partner do in order to resolve the situation.

Thank you
