I am a Canadian married to a Jamaican, who is still living in Jamaica. He was denied entry to Canadian. Don't know what to but get a divorce. I never filed the marriage in Canada. How do I go about starting the divorce. Can I file in Canada and take him the papers to sign and then bring them back to Canada? Do I need to file them in Jamaica also after they are signed.

Re: Canadian married to Jamaican wanting a divorce
I wish to inform you that you may file the divorce papers in Jamaica. If the divorce is granted in Jamaica, it will normally be recognized in Canada under the principle of comity.

Re: Canadian married to Jamaican wanting a divorce
You can apply for divorce because you are a citizen of Canada but their is a condition, you have lived in Canada at least one year immediately before applying for a divorce.
I suggest you should hire a lawyer if you can afford it , he/she will help you a lot in filing divorce as you are alone right now.California Foreclosure Attorney -- John DzialoComment

If the husband is in agreement with the divorce, the papers may be sent to him for signature -- in front of a notary and returned and filed.
Canada's Divorce Act recognizes three grounds for divorce; cruelty, adultery or being separated for one year. Even if other grounds are pled, since the process can take up to a year, anyway, being separated for one year is usually the grounds divorce is granted upon.
If he is not willing to agree to divorce, it is still possible to have one granted, anyway. As long as there is no personal property or children to make rulings, dissolving the marriage can be done without both parties present.
You would benefit from a consultation with a family law solicitor re service of process out of the country and the procedure should he not be willing to agree to divorce.Comment
