FAQs

What communication rules govern exchanges and co-parenting app messaging?

Communication must be limited to the child, one topic per message, and remain positive and future-focused. Messages must follow protocols in the co-parenting application, with responses generally within 24 hours unless another deadline is noted.

When and how must parents handle exchanges involving the children?

Exchanges occur at the children’s school unless the parties agree otherwise. If a dispute arises, exchanges follow school-in-session timing and a 5 p.m. alternative when school is not in session, with both parties remaining in vehicles and avoiding communications or gestures.

What requirements apply to travel, passports, and consent for taking the children abroad?

For international travel, an itinerary must be provided within 30 days, and passports must be maintained and renewed with shared costs. Passports and travel consent must be provided at least 14 days prior, and written consent is required if a party wants to travel out of the country with the child.
