Child Custody Laws in Canada

• Custody refers to the right and responsibility of
  a parent to make major decisions for his or her
  child. Major decisions are generally accepted to
  include those concerning education, religion, and
  non-emergency health care.

• Sole Custody means that one parent makes all
  major decisions for the minor child.

• Joint Custody means that both parents make major
  decisions for the minor child jointly. Joint
  custody arrangements vary tremendously including
  ones in which the children divide their time
  equally between two parents homes to ones in
  which the children maintain a primary residence
  with one parent.

• The other parent, thus,is required to financially
  support the children. In the late 1990s, Canada
  established a set of Guidelines that set forth
  basic child support amounts, the idea for which
  was to reduce conflict, encourage resolution, and
  ensure equal treatment of spouses. In most
  cases, the parents simply followed the Guidelines
  and agreed upon support payments. There are
  instances, however, where certain disagreements
  arise and one parent may need legal
  representation and/or the courts intervention.

• Call the lawyers office and explain that you are
  looking for possible representation. Did the
  receptionist speak to you professionally and
  pleasantly?This is also very important. A
  lawyers staff should treat all clients with
  respect and dignity. Ask for references and a
  copy of the firms retainer. Call the references
  and find out whether other clients were satisfied
  with the lawyers services. Hiring an attorney
  allows the parent to avoid dealing with the other
  parent and lets the process proceed more easily.

• As life goes, there may come a time when you need
  to say goodbye to a family member. Not only is
  this a heavy emotional burden but someone also
  needs to take responsibility for the
  administrational duties that follow.
