Overview

This virtual 1 ½ hour session focused on parenting plans. It was delivered synchronously to allow for participant interactivity but was also recorded for participants unable to attend in real time.

Objective

The objective of this session was to prepare participants for the legislative reforms impacting parenting plans, expected to come into force on March 1, 2021.

Summary

The session was led by a judge and an academic. Reforms to both the Divorce Act (Bill C-78) and the Ontario Children’s Law Reform Act (Bill 207), anticipated for March 1, 2021, will entail implications for parenting plans. This session therefore emphasized the key changes judges should be aware of considering this transition, as well as the practical application of such concepts.
