The Affidavit of Applicant is a sworn statement that serves as your testimony in a Nunavut uncontested divorce. By filing this affidavit, you can usually avoid appearing in court for a hearing (Desk Divorce).
“How much are the court filing fees?”
The initial filing fee for a Statement of Claim in Nunavut is approximately $200+. There may be additional small fees for setting down the matter or obtaining the Certificate of Divorce.
“When does a Nunavut divorce become final?”
