Assessment

The Canadian divorce market is substantially larger than $30 million. Statistics Canada recorded over 42,000 to 56,000 divorces annually and more than 278,500 active family court cases in 2024/2025. With uncontested divorces costing $1,000 to $3,000 and contested cases averaging $15,000 to $20,000 per party, total legal and dispute resolution spending in Canada generates hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Furthermore, no published market sizing report or government dataset defines the Canadian divorce market as approximately $30 million.

Statistics Canada recorded 42,933 to 56,937 divorces annually and 278,500 active family law cases in 2024/2025, generating aggregate annual legal expenditures well into the hundreds of millions of Canadian dollars.
No independent Canadian legal industry report, Statistics Canada dataset, or market research firm confirms a $30 million market valuation for the Canadian divorce market around 2025.
