If you and your spouse cannot decide who the children should live with or how their time should be shared, then a mediator can help you decide, or a judge will make a decision according to what’s in the best interests of the children. The court can also make decisions about how often the children will see each parent (called parenting time or contact) and how parenting decisions about the children will be made (called parental responsibilities). For more information, refer to script [[Children Born outside Marriage (Script 140)|140]] on “Children Born outside Marriage” and script [[Custody and Access, Guardianship, Parenting Arrangements and Contact (Script 142)|142]] on “Custody and Access, Guardianship, Parenting Arrangements and Contact”.
