Does a joint decision making responsibility order need to be shared between the parents of the children?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from M.A. v. M.E., 2021 ONCJ 555 (CanLII):
[58] This is not a case where some allocation of joint decision-making responsibility is required because the mother is attempting to exclude the father from the children’s lives or to preserve the balance of power. See: Roloson v. Clyde, 2017 ONSC 3642. The greater concern here is that the father is attempting to control the mother’s life and that a joint-decision making responsibility order would increase the children’s exposure to parental conflict.
