Local Planning Notes

Oakville parenting plans should account for commuting, school stability, and travel consent.

Commuting can affect parenting time

Driving time, GO travel, school pickup, work hours, and exchange locations should be considered.

School stability needs clear terms

Homework, school notices, activities, teacher communication, and absences should be addressed.

Travel consent should be specific

Vacation notice, passport handling, itinerary sharing, and consent deadlines can reduce conflict.
