The family law attorneys at Ontario, Canada-based Pace Law Firm ((866) 340-3175) have published a new child custody and support guide to help divorced parents understand their rights, responsibilities, and the legal process with greater clarity.

Toronto, Canada, March 31, 2025 -- With the publication, divorced parents are provided an up-to-date resource that details what they can expect with regard to critical issues like child custody and visitation rights. The guide also explains how the family lawyers at Pace Law Firm can help protect parental rights and reach favorable outcomes through resolution negotiation, or, if necessary, litigation.

More details can be found at Pace Law Firm's website.

According to decades of data compiled by the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth and published by the government of Canada in 2022, approximately 80% of court orders following spousal separation resulted in a child under 12 being placed in the custody of their mother. As the data suggests, securing sole custody for the father or joint custody can be an uphill battle; that's why it is advisable that divorced parents retain experienced family law specialists like those at Pace Law Firm to advocate on their behalf.

The guide explains the importance of custody beyond the ability for a parent to spend time with their child, as the parent or parents with custody are given the power to make crucial life decisions for their child in areas like health care, education, and religion. Two types of joint custody are explained, these being shared custody and the more uncommon form - split custody.

The lawyers go on to explain that right of access, or visitation, can be either supervised or unsupervised depending on what is best for the child. While visitation is typically unsupervised, a family law attorney may be needed to ensure this right is upheld or if a dispute or challenge is made to the standard arrangement.

Beyond child custody and support, the attorneys also handle cases involving divorce, spousal support, property division, domestic contracts, and family disputes.
