===The Horn Model for sharing parental responsibilities===
====The Horn model for joint custody====


The ''Horn model'' is more about the guardians' rights to get information about the child, usually about the child's schooling, health, and extracurricular activities. The Horn model implies that the guardian with whom the child mostly lives will be entitled to make decisions about the child as he or she sees fit, with the other guardian having a right to information about the child. Under s. 49 of the ''Family Law Act'', however, that guardian will always have the right to ask the court for directions on the subject of the other guardian's decision.
