What Is Child Custody Under Ontario Family Law?

Child custody is the legal right to care for a child in oneself, with another family member or guardian, or through an agency. The custody and visitation issues (parenting time) are often handled together by courts on a case-by-case basis, based upon experience and common sense.

While parents retain full rights over their children until they are of majority age, courts are concerned with the child’s best interests.

Child custody disputes often involve a disagreement between one parent who wishes to relocate away from their current residence. The arrangements related to child custody change as the children grow older and have potential problems. Factors like the child’s age and the best interests determine the child custody arrangements.
