→What happens if a response or counterclaim is filed?
The do-it-yourself divorce process is based on the idea that either everyone agrees to get divorced or no one is going to object to the divorce. The process will go off the rails if:
In either situation, the divorce claim will cease to qualify as an ''undefended family law case'', as defined by the [http://canlii.ca/t/8mcr Supreme Court Family Rules], and the court proceedings will be kicked out of the desk order process. The court proceeding will continue like any other contested family law case, with the possibility of a resolution at trial if settlement cannot be reached before then.
