Decision Making and Parenting Time
Decision Making and Parenting Time (formerly custody and access)
Parenting rights and obligations can be some of the most difficult family law issues to settle after a separation.
Decision-making (formerly referred to as “custody”) refers to a parent’s legal right to make decisions for children, generally in the areas of:
(a) Health;
(b) Education;
(c) Culture, language, religion and spirituality; and
(d) Significant extra-curricular activities;
Parenting time or the parenting schedule (formerly referred to as “access”) refers to the residential parenting schedule and relates to the physical sharing of time between parents or caregivers with a child. The parenting schedule is different from decision-making.
In deciding child-related matters the best interests of the child is the guiding principle.
