From My Experience: Scarborough Parents Benefit From a Plan, Not Just a Position
Since our office is right here in Scarborough, I end up hearing from parents in this community more than anywhere else, and the same worry comes up again and again: not wanting to become a part-time parent because of how a schedule gets drawn up.
The cases that resolve best are rarely the ones where a parent digs in on a fixed position. They are the ones where we build a detailed, realistic parenting plan early — one that anticipates schedules, holidays, and decision-making before conflict forces the issue. Knowing the Toronto Family Courts well means we can advise you on what a judge is realistically likely to order, not just what you hope for.
