Understand the Family Law Act in New Westminster
According to the "Family Law Act," only legal guardians can exercise parental responsibilities and claim parenting time.
Parental duties/responsibilities might include:
- Applying for a passport for the child.
- Choosing with whom the child will associate.
- Deciding where the child will reside.
- Determining about the child’s education.
- Receiving information from third parties about the child, such as health or education information.
- Refusing or drawing consent from medical treatments.
- Selecting the extracurricular activities in which the child will participate.
All guardians have the right to exercise parental responsibilities and make decisions for the child. However, they must first consult with other parents in as much as it is reasonable and appropriate.
With a court order or a binding agreement, you can define which guardians can exercise which responsibilities, as well as which duties allow guardians to act separately and which duties require guardians to act together.
