Child Custody and Access Rights

Sometimes a marriage becomes a burden and couples mutually decide to separate. The situation is undoubtedly full of emotional chaos, but it is important for you to secure all the rights of your children. Canadian laws act strictly when it comes to the benefit of a child, and that is why all you need is a good representative to keep your case in front of the court. 

What is custody?

It is the birth right of the child to maintain their relationship with both the parents. The court can decide which spouse is going to have the custody of the children, depending on the circumstances and representation.

Usually, the custody is awarded to the parent who is more capable of taking care of the child. Equal attention is given to the facts and needs of both the parents. At first, the court tries to give the custody to the person who is willingly asking for it (if there are no disputes). If both the parents are demanding for the custody, the decision will be taken in the best interest of the child.

Types of Custody

Joint custody

This is one of the most common types of custody where both the parents are capable of discussing the matter in a better way. The child will stay with one of the parents while the other is going to have generous access to the children.

Sole custody

This one is a less practiced form of child custody and in this special form, one parent is given full custody to the exclusion of the other parent. Sole custodial parent will take the entire decisions related to the child support.

The law is all set to guard the best interest of the child, and the most important consideration of the court remains the “best interests” of the child.
