The Divorce Act refers to Access to your children when the other parent has primary residence of the children. However, if you were never married, then your interests are not set out under the Divorce Act, but under provincial legislation. Under provincial legislation they use the term Parenting time (not Access).
Access to your children is your right when they reside primarily with their other parent. Whether you are the parent with the primary residence or the access parent, I will discuss with you your personal circumstances and wishes. We will determine what access arrangements will work best for you. Then we determine how that access arrangement works best for the children and the other parent.
Mediation and Collaborative Law are very useful tool for arriving at an access schedule that takes into consideration everyone’s unique circumstances and what is best for the children. An access plan that works for everyone (both parents and children) is the ultimate goal, as it fosters harmony in the relationship between parents and children and between parents.
If there have been any recent changes to your access schedule, times or with primary residence, it is very important that you contact me right away to protect rights.
November 11, 2011 - Remembrance Day, Alberta, Canada
The Ode of Remembrance:
They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
