 ===Custody under the Child Support Guidelines===
-The [[Child Support Guidelines]] is a regulation to the ''[[Divorce Act]]'' that has been adopted by almost every province, including British Columbia. The Guidelines talk about how child support should be calculated, but along the way they also talk about how the children's time is shared among their parents since that can have an impact on the calculation of child support.

 Parents have ''split custody'' of their children when one or more of the children live with each parent most of the time. This sort of arrangement is pretty rare because it means that siblings will be separated from each other for significant periods of time. Split custody will only be ordered when there is good evidence that it is in the best interests of the children to live apart from each other, which might be the case when the children don't get along with each other and are constantly fighting, or where it can be proved that one or more but not all of the children will be better off with the other parent.
