Child Custody in Alberta

Instead of the phrase ‘child custody’ Alberta law uses the terms "parenting time" and "decision-making responsibility" to describe how parents share the care of their children after separation.

Here's a breakdown of these terms:

  • Parenting Time: Refers to the time a child spends with each parent. This includes regular visits, overnight stays, and holidays.
  • Decision-Making Responsibility: Covers significant decisions regarding a child's upbringing, such as education, healthcare, and extracurricular activities.
