Common Questions
Family law questions Whitby clients often ask.
Can commute time affect parenting schedules?
Yes. Travel time, school routines, childcare, and exchange locations can affect what is practical.
What if housing changes affect school routines?
Get advice before making major changes. School stability, distance, and parenting time can all be relevant.
