This page is a public educational walkthrough. It is not a retainer, a court form, or a promise about your result.

Decision-making and parenting time are separate issues.
Start with a family application or motion to change
Use current Family Law Rules forms.
Put a plan in writing
Schedules, holidays and communication belong on paper.
Read the Divorce Act or Children’s Law Reform Act
Which statute applies depends on marriage and the order you want.
