We call an uncontested divorce filed online a Desk Divorce.
Jd Law is an exclusive legal partner with Fresh Start Mediation providing divorce filing services for Alberta clients. At JD Law, an uncontested divorce that is filed online, without the need to appear before a judge or justice, is what we call a Desk Divorce. One of the most amicable and cost-effective ways to prepare for a Desk Divorce is through mediation. Once you have reached agreements through the mediation process, you can complete the filing in an easy, four-step online process – your Desk Divorce, on JD Law’s website, www.deskdivorce.ca.
