This is for a friend, but I'm being anonymous anyway.
My friend is getting a divorce in Canada. If someone has insight, I have a few other pertinent details I'd share via PM.
That said, I don't live in Canada. How do Canadian divorces differ from American divorces?
This person has not yet retained a lawyer as they are still working things out, but it seems clear that it is heading in that direction. If it were me, I would at least have a consultation. Any advice I could supportively pass along would be appreciated.

Also tell him good luck. Divorce is the worst.
You should never not get a lawyer in situations where lawyers are usually involved, there's lots of paperwork and gotchas and legal loopholes to fuck you over, and the cost is always greater in the long run even if you think a thousand or two is a big expense, imagine paying 25%+ of your income if alimony becomes involved, even over a year. There, you just paid for a thousand or two.
Lies, my divorce was very easy. Fill in paper work, wait about 9 months, hand money to now ex. Divorce done.
It helps that we literally had nothing but a car and credit card debt, and all of her items were already with her in Florida while my stuff was in Wisconsin. Sold car, put that towards the credit cards, then handed her half of what was left of the debt. Had either one of us gotten a lawyer instead it absolutely wouldn't have been anywhere as easy.
However, I do recognize my situation is far from the norm and I do recommend at least consulting a lawyer at minimum.
But I guess that's the catch, if the spouse had shown up for almost any reason it would have gotten much worse in a big hurry.
The rest were big huge clusterfucks though.
General resources and reduced fee lawyers.
Are they in Ontario and are also low income?

Kids and houses can become major stumbling blocks. Longer marriages mean more issues around support payments and division of assets. Pensions can be a tricky issue as well. I'd be happy to provide more information, but some details would help. Feel free to drop me a PM.
