New Brunswick Uncontested Divorce Kit
File the right petition for your judicial district. Submit your Affidavit of Evidence. Finalize your divorce without a lawyer.
In most of New Brunswick, you can file a Joint Petition (Form 72B) to avoid serving your spouse. In Saint John and Moncton, divorce starts with an Application (Form 81A) instead. Most uncontested cases are handled by "Affidavit evidence," meaning you submit sworn documents to the judge instead of testifying in court. Our kit automatically includes the correct Petition, Financial Statement, and Affidavit templates for your judicial district.
Includes the correct Petition for your district (Form 72A, 72B, or 81A), Financial Statement (72J) & Judgment.

Do You Qualify for an Uncontested Divorce?
To skip the courtroom appearance, your divorce must be truly uncontested.
Use this kit if:
- ✓ You or your spouse has lived in New Brunswick for at least 1 year.
- ✓ You are filing based on 1-year separation.
- ✓ Your spouse will not contest the divorce (or will sign a Joint Petition, where available).
- ✓ You agree on all parenting, support, and property issues.
Talk to a lawyer if:
- ✕ You have lived in NB for less than 1 year.
- ✕ Your spouse is contesting the divorce or refusing to communicate.
- ✕ You need to apply for an emergency protection order.
- ✕ You have complex corporate assets or disputed property.
Not sure which form applies to you? Your kit automatically matches you to the correct petition — Joint Petition (Form 72B) or sole Petition (Form 72A) in most districts, or Application (Form 81A) if you're in Saint John or Moncton.

Wait for the Clearance Certificate from the federal registry (commonly around 2-3 months, though it varies).

Frequently Asked Questions
“What is a Joint Petition (Form 72B)?”
A Joint Petition allows both spouses to sign and file the initial divorce paperwork together. This is highly recommended because it eliminates the need to serve documents on the other spouse, saving time and money. Note: Saint John and Moncton judicial districts don't have a joint-filing option — there, you'll file an Application (Form 81A) instead, which your kit also includes.
“What is the Affidavit of Evidence?”
This is a sworn document where you state the facts of your marriage, separation, and arrangements for children. It acts as your testimony so you don't have to appear in court for a hearing.
“How much are the court filing fees?”
The court filing fee for a Petition, Joint Petition, or Application in New Brunswick is $100. The court also charges a separate, smaller federal fee when it requests your Clearance Certificate — your registry can confirm the current amount. Later, a Certificate of Divorce costs an additional $7.
“When is the divorce final?”
The divorce is effective on the 31st day after the judge signs the Divorce Judgment (Form 72M). This is the appeal period. Once it passes, you can obtain your Certificate of Divorce.
