Common Questions
Custody questions North York parents often ask.
Can North York parenting plans address TTC or cross-city travel?
Yes. Transit time, exchange points, backup plans, and late-arrival rules can be included.
What if one parent wants to change the child's school?
School changes should be reviewed under decision-making responsibility and the child's best interests.
Can communication be limited to a parenting app?
It may be appropriate in some cases, but emergency contact and child-related updates still need care.
