Custody can be joint (shared by both parents) or sole (one parent has the primary decision-making authority). Parenting time/access pertains to the actual time a child spends with each parent.
A parent will be awarded custody if it is deemed to be in the best interests of the child. See Best Interests of the Child for more information on how courts determine the childs best interests. Paramount to any decisions regarding custody and access is stability.
If the couple is still married but separated, it is legal for both the parent to take the child. If the couple is divorced and the mother gets the sole physical custody, the father cannot take away the child. Sometimes, it becomes more complicated if you both share physical custody.
A child born out of wedlock is automatically given to the mother. However, the father might seek custody for several reasons. ing to the Supreme Court of Canada, an unmarried mother cannot simply move away from the childs father without his consent.
Generally, an unmarried parent who has the care and control of the child is considered the sole custodian without having to go to court. This is usually the mother of the child. A court may order otherwise if there is a child custody case to be heard.
