Common questions

FAQ — Divorce in Saint John, NB

Does OnlineDivorce.com actually work for Saint John residents?

Yes. OnlineDivorce.com specifically covers New Brunswick — one of only five Canadian provinces the service serves. It prepares the official Canadian divorce forms required by the Court of King’s Bench, with New Brunswick-specific filing instructions. As a Saint John resident, you qualify as long as at least one spouse has lived in New Brunswick for 1 year.

Can I get divorced without a lawyer in Saint John?

Yes. Under Canadian law, anyone has the right to represent themselves in divorce proceedings — called being a “self-represented litigant.” The Court of King’s Bench processes self-filed divorces routinely. For uncontested cases where both Saint John spouses agree on all terms, self-representation is very common and fully legal. You do not need a lawyer to get divorced in New Brunswick.

We haven’t been separated a full year yet — can we start now?

Yes — and it’s smart to start early. You can prepare and file your divorce documents before the 1-year separation mark. The court simply won’t grant the final divorce order until you’ve been separated for 12 months. Filing early means your documents are already in the system, and the process completes faster once the separation period is met.

What are the court filing fees in Saint John?

The $199 covers document preparation only. New Brunswick court filing fees are paid directly to the Court of King’s Bench — typically $200–$350 CAD depending on your specific district and whether children are involved. The online service provides the exact filing fee information for your Saint John jurisdiction in the instructions included with your documents.

We have a house in Saint John — can we divide it through this service?

Yes. The questionnaire covers real estate division, including your Saint John property. As long as both spouses agree on the terms of the division (sale, buyout, or other arrangement), the service prepares the necessary documentation. If there’s a genuine dispute about the property that can’t be resolved, a New Brunswick family law lawyer would need to litigate that issue.
