Joint custody has two parts: joint legal custody and joint physical custody. A joint custody order can have one or both parts.

 

Joint legal custody refers to both parents sharing the major decisions affecting the child, which can include school, health care and religious training. Other considerations under these types of custody agreements can include: extracurricular activities, summer camp, age for dating or getting a job, and methods of discipline.

 

Joint physical custody refers to the time spent with each parent. The amount of time is flexible, and can range from a moderate period of time for one parent, such as every other weekend, to a child dividing the time equally between the two parents’ homes. In situations where the time spent with both parents will be divided equally, it helps if the parents live close to one another.

All Provinces have adopted federal child support guidelines. Some Provinces use tables that indicate a support amount for different ranges of income, similar to tax tables. Although some provinces base support on the payor’s income, many province use an income shares model, which is based on the income of both parents. Usually, the parent without the child the majority of the time will pay support, but if both parents share time with the child equally, the parent with the greater income usually pays support. The support may be reduced based upon the amount of time the payor spends with the child. Some Provinces also cap support at a certain income level. If a parent is intentionally not working or is working at less than he or she is capable of earning, the court can "impute income," which means setting support based upon what the parent is capable of earning rather than actual earnings. Provinces vary on what expenses are included in child support. For example, some provinces include medical expenses and day care, while other provinces add those costs on top of the child support.
