Difference between revisions of "Children and Parenting after Separation"

Guardians have ''parental responsibilities'' for the children in their care, which is the duty to make decisions about the children in the best interests of the children. The terms of how parental responsibilities will be handled can be vague or they can be very specific. Specific terms usually define the distribution of parental responsibilities using a set of clauses drafted by Mr. Justice Joyce (the "Joyce model") or by Master Horn (the "Horn model") or some hybrid of the two. Both models describe the rights and obligations both parents have when they are all guardians.  

The Joyce and Horn models of sharing parental responsibilities are discussed in more detail in the [[Guardianship, Parenting Arrangements and Contact|Guardianship, Parenting and Contact]] page.
