Few issues in family law are as sensitive and life-changing as decision-making (custody) and parenting schedules (access) for your child. Ontario law now refers to decision-making responsibility and parenting time & residency instead of custody and access, but the principles remain the same: protecting the best interests of your child while safeguarding your parental rights.
At Krol & Krol, our Toronto child custody lawyers have guided parents through hundreds of custody disputes and parenting arrangements. Whether you’re negotiating an agreement or preparing for court, we provide the clarity, advocacy, and experience you need.
