Parental Responsibility and Timesharing are key concepts in family law that relate to the rights and duties of parents after divorce or separation regarding their children. Parental Responsibility refers to the legal rights and duties a parent has to make decisions on behalf of their child, such as decisions related to education, health care, and religious upbringing. In most cases, both parents retain shared parental responsibility, meaning they are jointly involved in making major decisions for their child's welfare, unless otherwise determined by the court.

Timesharing, also known as custody and visitation, refers to the division of time each parent spends with their child. This includes determining where the child will live (primary residence) and how time will be divided between parents for holidays, weekends, and vacations. The goal of timesharing is to ensure that the child has ongoing, meaningful relationships with both parents while also considering the child's best interests, including factors such as the child's age, emotional needs, and the parents' ability to cooperate. Courts typically encourage shared timesharing arrangements to support healthy relationships, but they may order a different plan if it is deemed in the child's best interest.
