If your sister’s husband has filed a contested divorce in Canada, the case will proceed under Canadian family law. Since they have been living separately for about one year, separation may be considered as a ground for divorce. Your sister should engage a local Canadian family lawyer to respond to the petition, protect her rights regarding alimony, child custody (if any), and property division. Ignoring the notice may result in an ex-parte decision.
