What factors apply to a shared parenting arrangement where the parties share custody and equal time with the children?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Gravelle v. Welch, 2018 ONSC 2096 (CanLII):

He notes s. 9 of the Guidelines and references the evidence that the parties share joint custody and equal time with the children. He also cites Contino v. Leonelli-Contino, and submits that in shared parenting arrangements a careful review of all of the factors set out in s. 9 apply. These factors are: the applicable table amounts; increased costs of shared custody; and the condition, means and needs of each spouse and of any child for whom support is sought. He submits that none of the three factors prevails over the others. The weight given to each depends on the particular facts of each case. The overall objective, he points out, is to ensure a fair and reasonable amount of child support.
