LIBRARY HEADING

Heard:                  February 16, 17, 18, 2011, and March 11, 2011, in Halifax, Nova Scotia

 

Subject:                Family Law; Divorce Act; Custody/Shared Parenting

 

Summary:             At an Interim Hearing the Father was granted primary care of the children. Because his work schedule provided him with significant available time to parent he requested the interim arrangement continue. The Mother argued that the Father’s schedule did not always work in the best interest of the children and she suggested a shared parenting arrangement. The parties did have communication difficulties.

 

Issue:          What parenting arrangement was in the best interest of the children?       

 

Result:                  A shared parenting arrangement was in the children’s best interest.
