The Correctional system provides all the necessary documentation that an inmate will need if he or she wants to apply for a divorce from their partner.<\/p>\n

Correctional Service Canada Provides the Following Information:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Form 4D<\/a>: Affidavit\/Declaration. For an inmate to get this form they must submit a request to Sentence Management and state why they are interested in getting a divorce.<\/li>\n
  2. The inmate can then request a Divorce Application Form<\/a> from their librarian (or type it themselves).<\/li>\n
  3. Once the form is filled out, the inmate must have their signature notarized by the Notary Public. Every Institution has a staff member in Sentence Management who can notarize and witness documents for inmates.<\/li>\n
  4. Once the Notary Public has signed the document, the inmate must make an appointment with Legal Aid Counsel. The inmate should also take a 532 Payment Form with them when they visit Legal Aid (so that they can pay the fee associated with filing the Divorce Application).<\/li>\n
  5. Legal Aid<\/a> will file the application and in a few days\/weeks the inmate will receive a Case Number from the court in the mail. The court will also send a notification to the inmate\u2019s partner about the Divorce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If the Divorce is not being contested, this matter can be resolved within six to eight months from the filing of the application.<\/p>\n

    The Queen\u2019s Family Law Clinic<\/a> (QFLC) is an excellent resource if you have any questions about Family Issues. The QFLC helps people who cannot afford a lawyer.<\/p>\n

    The QFLC is funded by Legal Aid Ontario (LAO) in partnership with Queen\u2019s University Faculty of Law, with additional support from Pro Bono Students Canada (PBSC) and the class of Law \u201981.<\/p>\n

    Student caseworkers work under the supervision of lawyers to provide services to low-income clientele, including some who, for several reasons, may not be otherwise eligible for LAO assistance with Family Court matters.<\/p>\n
