Common Reasons for Contested Divorces in Ontario
Child Custody and Parenting Disputes
Disagreements Over Decision-Making Authority
In Ontario, decision-making responsibility (formerly referred to as “custody”) determines who can make important choices regarding the child’s education, health care, religion, and general welfare. One parent may seek sole decision-making rights, while the other insists on joint authority. These disputes often arise when communication has broken down or trust has eroded.
Conflicting Parenting Schedules
Another common point of contention is the parenting time schedule (previously “access”). One parent may want more time than the other is willing to offer, or disagree on how weekends, holidays, and vacations should be divided. These disputes are often fuelled by concerns about logistics, lifestyle differences, or a desire for control.
