Topic: Divorce in India - Is it Valid in Ontario?

Dumdum

Hi folks,

Need some advice on few queries....

I am a Canadian Immigrant who got married in India (Before becoming a Canadian Immigrant) and got my divorce papers handed to me by my x-spouse in India (After we became Canadian Immigrants).

1. Do i need to get divorce certificate from Ontario courts even though when my x-spouse applied for the divorce in India we both received the certificate of Divorce from the State in India.

2. My x-spouse relinquished all of the rights in all the assets which we both had like bank accounts, credit cards, RRSPs and the house is solely mine and signed an affidavit in that effect.

3. Now if i plan to get married in some other country other than mine (excluding India, Canada or USA) will my Indian Divorce Certificate be sufficient to sponsor my new spouse. Will i need more paperwork?

Please help, this is getting crazy day by day.

And Yes, did i tell you that my spouse refuses to come back to Canada now that the PR cards have been mailed to both of us and doesn't wanna live in Canada or do anything with it.

Could you also please some lawyers if lawyers are recommended?

Regards
