Parental Responsibility
1. Shared Parental Responsibility
Shared Parental Responsibility is when two parents discuss and mutually agree on all major issues (i.e., medical, education) in regard to their child(ren)’s well-being. If they cannot agree, either party can request the Judge to decide in the best interest of the child(ren).
2. Sole Parental Responsibility
Sole Parental Responsibility is when one parent solely makes the decision on all major issues (i.e., medical, education) without discussing the issue with the other parent. This is granted in special circumstances, such as when a parent has abandoned the child or is incarcerated.
3. Ultimate Decision Making
Ultimate Decision Making is when one parent solely makes the decision on all or some major issues (i.e., medical, education) after discussing the issue with the other parent.
