You can file for divorce any time - you just can't get the judgment normally until there has been a one year separation.
Grounds for divorce in Canada:
1) one year separation
2) adultery (must be proven or admitted)
3) physical or mental cruelty (rare, but the circumstances alleged here might qualify)
Misconduct by the other spouse does not generally entitle you to more property or support - it just allows you to get the judgment sooner.
