Parenting Agreements During Divorce in Ontario
Each parent is presumed to have equal custody and access rights. While a primary and secondary residence for the child is typically established, this does not mean that parents are not entitled to an equal say in their children’s lives. Additionally, parents and children always have the right to have parenting agreements and child support reviewed by the court after a material change in circumstances.
Child Abduction and Hague Convention Cases
When a parent leaves the country with a child without informing the other parent and gaining permission to do so, we at The Law Office of Thomas J. MacLennan can help you pursue custody remedies in Ontario. Under the international Hague Convention, the court where the child habitually resides is the authority to consider custody or access in these highly emotional cases. Thomas J. MacLennan has significant experience helping parents bring their children back to Canada, on a rush basis when necessary.
