Shared Parenting Agreement Guide
Summary
In Ontario, shared parenting agreements should include equal decision-making, relocation clauses, and fair cost-sharing for childcare and transportation. If one parent is on Ontario Works but capable of earning more, courts may impute income based on potential earnings. For safety concerns, consider supervised visitation, rehabilitation requirements, and stable environment provisions. Consult legal advice for personalized guidance.Full Conversation

She does not have a vehiclensjd plans on living about 73kms away tons rural are with no buses so I will likely have to pick my daughter up and drop her off, I would like it to state that I be fairly compensated for my time spent driving, my fuel and wear and tear on my vehicle in accordance to Ontario law.

How to childcare costs would be split if only one parent requires childcare and the other parent is on Ontario works

- Calculate the proportion of each parent's income to the total combined income.
- Apply these proportions to the childcare costs.
- Adjustments can be made for special circumstances, like one parent being on Ontario Works.

What adjustment would youake if one parent is on Ontario works but is capable of earning more and has in the past
In Ontario, if one parent is on Ontario Works but capable of earning more, the court may impute income to that parent. This means they will be assessed as if they are earning a higher income based on their earning potential. Here are some key points:
- Imputed Income: The court may assign an income level to the parent based on their skills, employment history, and job market.
- Childcare Costs: Childcare costs would then be split based on the imputed income rather than actual income.
