Winning sole custody requires proving it serves the child’s best interests through court evidence and documentation

In Ontario, obtaining sole custody requires demonstrating to the court that having one primary custodial parent is in the child’s best interests. The process involves building a compelling legal case with proper documentation and evidence.

To strengthen your case for sole custody, you’ll need to:

• Document your consistent involvement in the child’s daily life, education, and healthcare
• Provide evidence of your ability to maintain a stable, nurturing home environment
• Demonstrate willingness to facilitate the child’s relationship with the other parent
• Present proof of any concerns about the other parent’s ability to provide proper care
• Show documentation of your financial stability and ability to provide for the child

Working with a qualified family law lawyer is strongly recommended, as they can help navigate the complex legal requirements and present your case effectively to the Ontario courts.
