Decision-Making and Parenting

Decision-making and parenting arrangements outline how parents share responsibilities and make important choices for their children after separation or divorce. This includes decisions about a child's health, education, religion, and overall well-being.

In Ontario, parents may share decision-making jointly or one parent may have sole decision-making authority in certain areas. The goal is to create a plan that supports the child's best interests, reduces conflict, and provides stability and structure.
