Ok so I was searching Canlii as someone mentioned to do on here regarding access. I am trying to find what is usually ordered for access of a baby. I typed in access baby and access toddler. I was supprised to see that most of the access given in these cases are extremely restricted. Some women and fathers are only getting a weekend every other weekend. Some are getting no overnight until 3 yrs. It doesn't seem to have too much of a bias in favor of woman...but does tend to chose the primary caregiver as primary residence.
I was shocked at some of the final orders.
I am mostly concerned that I don't want any sudden change. I would hope that the change to equal parenting would be gradual to help the baby adapt..but didn't find much about leading to a 5050 arrangement with baby.
It's just basically all every other weekend and sometimes a week night.
My case there are some safety issues and addiction so I would ask:
-supervised for with testing (if possible) for as long as they feel necessary
-then 4 hrs three days a week unsupervised for a month or so
-then every other weekend and on off weeks one full day and one night
-then if everything is working well for everyone..get into more of an equal parenting plan.
Does this seem reasonable for a baby? How do babies/toddlers adapt to 5050 arrangments? I just really don't know..I've read such conflicting things..but a lot says that it is most important to have maximum contact with both parents..so that's what I would want (if she can be safe).
