Do you qualify for an uncontested divorce in Yukon?
This route works once your case is genuinely uncontested — or you and your spouse are ready to apply on consent — and your parenting, support and property issues are settled. Agreement is not, by itself, a complete filing or a guarantee the Court will grant what you ask for. The final decision is always the Court’s.
This kit fits if…
- ✓ You or your spouse has been habitually resident in Yukon for at least one year immediately before the proceeding begins — a jurisdiction condition under the Divorce Act, separate from the one-year separation ground.
- ✓ You are relying on one year’s separation. You must be living separate and apart when the claim starts and for the full year immediately before the divorce is determined; you can start it sooner, but the Court cannot grant it until the year has run. Reconciliation attempts totalling 90 days or less do not restart the clock. (Adultery and cruelty are separate grounds not covered by this kit.)
- ✓ Your spouse won’t file a defence once served, or you’re both ready to apply for judgment on consent. Either way, someone other than you two must serve the claim.
- ✓ You agree on all other issues — parenting, decision-making, child support, spousal support, property, debts and pensions — and any child support meets the Federal Child Support Guidelines. The Court must be satisfied that reasonable child-support arrangements exist before it grants a divorce.
- ✓ You still have (or can obtain) your marriage certificate, since it generally must be filed before your claim is issued.
Talk to a lawyer first if…
- ✗ Neither spouse has been habitually resident in Yukon for a full year yet.
- ✗ Your spouse is contesting the divorce, may file a statement of defence or counterclaim, will not communicate, or cannot be located for service.
- ✗ There is family violence or coercion, a child-protection or criminal matter, or you need a restraining order or emergency protection.
- ✗ Parenting, decision-making or the child-support amount is not fully settled, you want a support figure that differs from the guideline table, or a child of the marriage past the age of majority is still dependent.
- ✗ You want the Court to decide (not just record) parenting or support, or you have a pension to divide, a business or corporate assets, real property or significant debt to split, a bankruptcy, existing court orders, or a cross-border element.
Uncontested or judgment on consent — which applies to you?
Every Yukon divorce claim starts the same way: one plaintiff, one defendant, third-party service. Once the claim has been served, there are two distinct ways to ask the Court to decide it without a trial. Your eligibility check confirms which one fits, and you receive the matching draft order.
The claim itself is Form 91A, and Rule 63 requires a third party — not either spouse — to serve it, with a Form 7 Affidavit of Service filed afterward. What cooperation buys you is the ending, not the start: once your spouse doesn’t contest, or you both agree, you apply for judgment by requisition (Form 97A) instead of a trial.
Statement of Claim (Form 91A) • Affidavit of Service (Form 7) • requisition (Form 97A) • Affidavit for Divorce Order (Form 97 / 97B) • route-matched draft order (Form 100B uncontested or Form 100A consent) • Rule 63A financial-disclosure forms as applicable • step-by-step filing instructions
Uncontested divorce proceeding
Form 97A requisition · Form 100B draft order
Rule 63 defines “uncontested” as: no statement of defence has been filed, or a defence/counterclaim disputing the divorce claim was withdrawn or struck out, or all claims other than divorce have been settled and both parties filed a signed statement to that effect. You apply for judgment by filing a Requisition for Divorce Order (Form 97A), a draft Divorce Order (Uncontested), Form 100B, proof of service, and — if appropriate — an Affidavit for Divorce Order (Form 97 or 97B).
A spouse who simply “won’t fight it” is not automatically uncontested until one of those conditions is actually met — get the timing right before you file.
Judgment on consent
Form 97A requisition · Form 100A consent draft order
Where you and your spouse are actively seeking judgment on consent, Rule 63(34)-(36) lets you apply the same way — a Requisition (Form 97A) plus a draft Divorce Order (Consent), Form 100A, and, if appropriate, the Form 97/97B affidavit, a Form 59 affidavit, and a Form 98 Child Support Affidavit.
This is a separate procedure from the uncontested route above, with its own consent order form — the two are not interchangeable, even though both can be decided without an appearance.
On either route, once the court is satisfied the application is appropriate it may make an order without you or your lawyer attending, direct that you attend, or direct that further evidence be presented (Rule 63(33) and (36)). A claim for child or spousal support or a property division can trigger a Rule 63A financial statement (Form 94A or Form 94) or a signed Form 96 agreement. Confirm what your case needs against Rule 63 and Rule 63A.
Why use an affidavit kit?
For a genuinely uncontested case or one going to judgment on consent, Yukon lets you prove your case on a sworn Affidavit for Divorce Order instead of testifying at trial. Done carefully, it keeps a straightforward divorce affordable and predictable — without paying a lawyer to prepare standard paperwork — while the registry and a judge still review everything. A properly prepared affidavit is evidence, not a guarantee.
Keep more of your money
You do the filing yourself and keep the difference between a lawyer’s fee and a one-time kit price. Court and Sheriff fees are separate — see the breakdown alongside.
Often decided without an appearance
A qualifying, complete file may be decided on the written record; the Court’s review, the case-conference question, the Central Registry check and the judge’s decision all come first.
What a Yukon divorce costs
Yukon court and government fees include $140 to commence the Statement of Claim, $30 to file the requisition (Form 97A), $50 for Sheriff service on one person, and a $10 federal Central Registry fee, plus $15 for a certified copy of up to 10 pages. There is no single total cost: a certified marriage certificate, commissioning the affidavits, copies, postage, travel and any legal advice are extra. Fees can change — confirm current amounts with the registry.
What’s in the kit
The current Rule 63 forms for your route, organised so you know what each one does and the order to file them in.
The claim that starts your case
- Statement of Claim (Form 91A) — one plaintiff, one defendant
- The one-year Yukon habitual-residence requirement and the one-year separation ground
- Arranging third-party service (Rule 63(25)) and the resulting Affidavit of Service (Form 7)
- Filing your marriage certificate before the claim issues
Your application-for-judgment package
The set assembled for a decision on the written record (Rule 63(30)-(36)):
Filing roadmap
- Completing and commissioning the forms, in order
- Filing with the Supreme Court of Yukon & arranging third-party service
- The Family Law Case Conference question and the federal Central Registry step
- The application for judgment and the 31-day period
- Delivering the order to your spouse and requesting the Certificate of Divorce
- A self-check list before you submit
What this kit does not include
- Any court sign-off that your file is complete or judge-ready — the registry places the materials before the Court and a judge reviews the file; a private kit cannot certify that or guarantee a particular template will be accepted
- The granted Divorce Order — you supply the typed draft Form 100A or 100B; a judge decides whether to grant it and may instead direct an appearance or require further evidence
- Arranging or paying for third-party service of the Statement of Claim — the Sheriff’s Office, a process server, or Family Law Information Centre staff, at their own fees
- Your marriage certificate — you obtain your own
- The federal Central Registry notification, which the Court obtains, not you
- A Family Law Case Conference exemption decision, or attendance at the conference
- Delivering a true copy of the granted Divorce Order to your spouse, which Rule 63(41) makes the applicant’s responsibility
- Property, pension or business division as a decided outcome, or a negotiated separation agreement
- Contested or defended claims, statements of defence, counterclaims, or protection orders
- Filing your documents for you, or any court representation
- Legal advice about your situation, or review of your completed documents
- Court, Sheriff, certified-copy and federal Central Registry fees
PlainDivorce is a private publisher. The Supreme Court of Yukon publishes the official Rule 63 rules and forms, but has not reviewed, approved or endorsed this product or its templates, and does not decide in advance whether a template meets a particular file’s requirements. Always take the current form versions and confirm the full, fact-specific filing set from the Yukon Supreme Court forms index and Rule 63 before filing.
How it works
The path to a Divorce Order in Yukon on the uncontested or consent route.
File the Statement of Claim
Complete Form 91A and file it with the Supreme Court of Yukon registry with your marriage certificate (or the Rule 63(18) exception) and the $140 commencement fee.
Serve your spouse
Rule 63(25) requires someone other than you to serve the claim. Options include the Sheriff’s Office (currently $50), a process server, or Family Law Information Centre staff. File the resulting Affidavit of Service (Form 7).
Case conference & Central Registry
A Family Law Case Conference is required within 60 days of service unless a judge grants an exemption — confirm with the Trial Coordinator whether your case needs one. Meanwhile, the Court verifies your registration information and sends it to the federal Central Registry, which can take six to eight weeks and may need your follow-up; the Court cannot pronounce a divorce until it is satisfied no earlier divorce proceeding is pending.
Uncontested or consent
If no defence is filed (or one is withdrawn/struck, or all claims besides divorce are settled), your case is uncontested. If you and your spouse actively agree, you can instead apply for judgment on consent. Either way, this is when the kit’s application forms come into play.
Apply for judgment
File the Requisition (Form 97A, $30), the typed draft Form 100B or Form 100A, proof of service, and — if appropriate — the Form 97/97B affidavit, a Form 59 affidavit, a Form 98 Child Support Affidavit, and any Rule 63A financial-disclosure forms. A judge may decide without either of you attending, or direct an appearance or further evidence.
Divorce Order & certificate
The divorce ordinarily takes effect on the 31st day after the day the judgment is rendered. Unless the Court orders otherwise, you must deliver a true copy of the order to your spouse. You can then request your Certificate of Divorce (Form 101), issued by the clerk or a judge (certified-copy fees apply).
There is no guaranteed timeframe. Even a properly filed uncontested divorce commonly takes four to eight months or more — service, the case-conference question, the federal Central Registry check and judicial scheduling all control the pace, and a kit cannot speed up the Court’s timelines.

“The step-by-step guide is a lifesaver. Arranging service through the Sheriff’s Office and getting the Affidavit of Service back was the part I didn’t know I needed a plan for.”
Travis D.
Watson Lake
“We were fully agreed, so we went the judgment-on-consent route. The kit made clear that’s a different form set from an uncontested application — I would have mixed them up otherwise.”
Anna A.
Whitehorse
“This took a huge weight off my shoulders. It also set my expectations right — the Central Registry check alone took close to two months.”
Sandra U.
Dawson City
“I asked the Trial Coordinator whether we still needed a case conference since neither of us had a lawyer and nothing was contested — glad the kit told me to check instead of assuming.”
Olivia G.
Haines Junction
“Professional-quality documents for a fraction of a lawyer’s rate. I still had to arrange service myself and pay the Sheriff’s fee — the kit was upfront that those weren’t included.”

Yukon uncontested divorce: frequently asked questions
Is there a joint Statement of Claim in Yukon?
No. Unlike some provinces, Yukon has no form that lets both spouses file together as co-applicants. The Statement of Claim (Form 91A) is structured as one plaintiff and one defendant, and Rule 63 requires a third party — not either spouse — to serve it, even when the divorce is fully agreed. What cooperation buys you is what happens after service: once your spouse doesn’t contest, or you’re both ready to agree, the case can be decided on the written record through the uncontested or judgment-on-consent procedure — but a judge still reviews the file and can require an appearance or more evidence.
What’s the difference between an uncontested divorce and one on consent?
They are two distinct procedures. A divorce claim is uncontested (Rule 63(1)) when no statement of defence has been filed, or a defence/counterclaim disputing the divorce was withdrawn or struck out, or all claims besides divorce have been settled with a signed statement to that effect — you apply with a Form 97A requisition and a draft Form 100B. Judgment on consent (Rule 63(34)-(36)) is for spouses actively agreeing to the outcome — the same Form 97A requisition, but a draft Form 100A consent order. Both let the Court decide without an appearance, direct one, or direct further evidence.
What is the Affidavit for Divorce Order?
The Affidavit for Divorce Order (Form 97, or Form 97B if you are seeking a divorce only) is the sworn evidence you file with your application for judgment, where appropriate to your case. There is no Yukon form called an “Affidavit of Applicant” — if you see that name elsewhere, confirm it against the current Form 97/97B before relying on it. Swearing a false affidavit is a criminal offence.
Do I need a Family Law Case Conference?
Usually, unless a judge grants an exemption. Rule 63(13) and Practice Direction FAMILY-3 require a conference within 60 days of service of the claim in every family law proceeding, including a divorce claim. Exemption categories exist — for example, both parties represented and the lawyers agree none is needed, or a history of violence/abuse with a request for no conference — and a judge may also grant an exemption without an application, including for urgency or inconvenience. Because several categories assume a lawyer is involved, a self-represented, unopposed applicant should ask the Trial Coordinator or registry whether an exemption applies rather than assume either way.
Do I have to file a marriage certificate?
Generally, yes, and generally before your claim is issued (Rule 63(18)) — unless your pleading states it is impossible to obtain a certificate, or that you will file it before the case is set for trial or before you apply for a Divorce Order. Confirm the accepted proof-of-marriage alternatives with the registry if you cannot obtain a certificate.
How much are the court filing fees?
Per the current Supreme Court of Yukon fee schedule (Appendix C), filing the Statement of Claim costs $140, and filing an application — including a requisition such as Form 97A — costs $30. Sheriff service on one person is $50, plus travel beyond 16 km and any disbursements; the Family Law Information Centre may be able to arrange service at no Sheriff fee in some circumstances — confirm with the registry. A certified copy of up to 10 pages (which covers requests like the Certificate of Divorce) is $15. A separate $10 federal Central Registry fee applies (legal-aid exception). Fees can change and the court can waive them on a finding of indigency — confirm current amounts with the registry before filing.
We have children, or someone wants support — what else is required?
Rule 63A sets out branching financial-disclosure requirements: a party seeking or resisting child support generally completes a Financial Statement (Family Law – Simplified), Form 94A, with applicable income documents; shared/split parenting, special or extraordinary expenses, spousal or parental support, or a property division can additionally require parts of the detailed Form 94. Parties who agree on income and the support amount can instead sign and file a Form 96 agreement. The Court must be satisfied that reasonable child-support arrangements exist before it grants a divorce.
What is the Central Registry step, and how long does it take?
It is a court-administered check, not something you file yourself. Rule 63(37) says a divorce order must not be pronounced unless the Court is satisfied no earlier divorce proceeding is pending anywhere in Canada; this is implemented through the federal Central Registry of Divorce Proceedings. Government of Yukon guidance describes this check as taking roughly six to eight weeks and something you may need to follow up on — it is not a guaranteed timeframe, so confirm current expectations with the registry.
When does a Yukon divorce become final, and who tells my spouse?
The divorce ordinarily becomes effective on the 31st day after the day the judgment is rendered — a pending appeal or a court order in special circumstances changes that date. Unless the Court orders otherwise, you (the party who applied for the order) must deliver a true copy to your spouse, or mail it to their last known address if they have not provided a delivery address. Once the divorce has taken effect, you can request your Certificate of Divorce (Form 101), issued by the clerk or a judge.
Is PlainDivorce a law firm?
No. PlainDivorce is a private self-help information service. We provide the current Rule 63 forms with plain-language instructions; we do not give legal advice, review your documents for accuracy, certify anything to the Court, or file, serve or deliver documents for you. For advice about your situation, or if anything is disputed, consult a Yukon family lawyer or the Law Society of Yukon’s Lawyer Referral Service, or contact the Family Law Information Centre.
Important legal disclaimer
PlainDivorce is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or representation. The Yukon Uncontested Divorce Kit is a private self-help information product containing publicly available Supreme Court of Yukon Rule 63 forms with general instructions. It is not a substitute for advice from a licensed Yukon lawyer, and no court has reviewed, approved or endorsed it or its templates.
We do not guarantee that the Court will accept a particular filing or that a divorce will be granted. You supply the typed draft Divorce Order (Form 100A or 100B); the Court must be satisfied no earlier divorce proceeding is pending before it can pronounce a divorce, and a judge decides whether to grant judgment and may instead direct an appearance or require further evidence. Court and Sheriff rules, forms and fees change from time to time — it is currently $140 to commence the Statement of Claim, $30 to file the requisition, $50 for Sheriff service on one person, a $10 federal Central Registry fee, and $15 for a certified copy of up to 10 pages — and there is no single total cost for a divorce. Service arrangements, the Family Law Case Conference, the Central Registry notification and judicial scheduling control the process, not the purchaser. You must also deliver a true copy of any granted order to your spouse unless the Court orders otherwise. You are responsible for verifying the current forms, fees and case-specific requirements with the Supreme Court of Yukon before filing.
