Parenting arrangements (also known as Child Custody and Access Arrangements) are important aspects of family law cases that determine each parent’s parenting rights and responsibilities. At Badejo Law Group, we understand that these matters can be emotionally charged and complex. Our compassionate team of family law professionals is dedicated to helping you navigate this process with empathy and support. We believe that every child deserves a loving and nurturing environment, and we are committed to advocating for their best interests.
Parenting is governed by the Divorce Act (Canada), in the case of married parents, and the Family Law Act (Alberta), in the case of married or unmarried parents. When making decisions about parenting arrangements after separation, the paramount consideration for the court is the child’s best interests. The court considers several factors to ensure that the child’s needs are met and that they have a stable and nurturing environment. These factors may include the child’s age, the ability of each parent to provide for the child’s physical and emotional needs, the child’s relationship with each parent, and the child’s preferences, if they are old enough to express them. The court may also consider the history of parental involvement, the willingness of the parents to cooperate and communicate effectively, and any instances of domestic violence or substance abuse.
Parenting coordination and mediation services are also available to assist parents in reaching agreements that are in the best interests of their children. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure the child’s safety and healthy development, while maintaining a positive parent-child relationship.
Whether you are seeking a guardianship order, parenting order, or contact with a child, our experienced family law team will work diligently to ensure that your voice is heard, your rights are protected, and the best interests of your child are addressed.
