What is the impact of equal parenting time for a young child?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Toronto v. C.P.I., 2021 ONCJ 575 (CanLII):
[41] An equal-parenting time plan requires a high level of communication and coordination between the parties, particularly when the child is very young. The parents will have to coordinate schooling, medical appointments and extra-curricular activities for the child. This should not be ordered where the evidence indicates that implementing such a plan, given the dynamics between the parties, would be an invitation to conflict and chaos, and would be destabilizing for the child. See: Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Toronto v. A.P., 2020 ONCJ 572, pars. 220 and 221. Part Four – The society’s position
