Key Takeaways

Financial disclosure is mandatory in Ontario divorces, requiring detailed documentation of assets, debts, and income to ensure fair asset division and support arrangements.
There are multiple levels of disclosure, from initial information provision to full audits, emphasizing precision over estimation to avoid delays and legal penalties.
Failure to disclose can lead to severe consequences like invalidated agreements, court sanctions, or even imprisonment, while proper disclosure shortens resolution time and reduces costs.
