Ensure the right outcome for yourself and your family

Parenting Time

You’re used to being with your child 100% of the time. Even if the court ruling awards you the vast majority of parenting time (for example, 90% time with you, 10% time with your spouse) it will mean a reduction in parenting time. This may feel like an outrageous change to your parental rights and access, especially if you have a fraught relationship with your ex. It’s easy to see why parenting time is, often, the most heavily contested issue during a divorce or breakup. 

It is important to understand that the court will favor mutual and meaningful contact by both parents in the upbringing of a child so long as it serves the “best interests of the child.” Both parties need to have realistic expectations when deciding how parenting time will be allocated.
