Ontario Visitation Attorney
Even though a child custody agreement can be modified as future circumstances change, it is wise to put in the effort to develop the most comprehensive plan that's possible in the present. We will develop a parenting plan that addresses numerous issues such as relocation, doctor's visits and extracurricular activities. Custody itself is commonly divided into two sections.
- Physical custody: This portion of the agreement defines where the child will actually be, whether this means holiday visitation, a rotating weekly schedule or another customized parenting plan.
- Legal custody: This portion of the agreement clarifies parental responsibility for major decisions in the child's life. Shared legal custody commonly means that decisions regarding a child's religion, education or medical care will be made by both parents.
The standard that the court will use to make decisions is the notion of "the best interest of the children." While we will attempt to meld the goals of the parents with the best interest of the children, the needs of the children will influence all decisions.
