Can I sell my Saskatoon house without my spouses signature during a divorce?

Generally no, if the home is protected under The Homesteads Act, 1989. That Act requires the written consent of a spouse who is not on title before the family home can be sold or mortgaged, and if both spouses are on title, both must sign the listing agreement and every transfer document.

This protection exists specifically because Saskatchewan treats the family home differently from other property, regardless of whose name is registered at Information Services Corporation. A lawyer cannot complete the transfer without the required signature, so the sale simply cannot close without it.

If your spouse is unwilling to sign, the usual path is through the courts rather than around them, since a lawyer or the Court of King's Bench can address a refusal within the broader separation proceedings under The Family Property Act.

Trying to sell around a required signature only delays the sale further. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
