Frequently Asked Questions

How is an Affidavit for Sole Decision-Making Responsibility for Children different from custody arrangements?

An Affidavit for Sole Decision-Making Responsibility for Children specifically addresses decision-making authority, whereas custody arrangements involve the physical living arrangements of the children.

Decision-making responsibility refers to the authority to make major decisions on behalf of the children, such as medical care, education, religious upbringing, and extracurricular activities. Custody arrangements, on the other hand, deal with where the children will live and how much time they will spend with each parent. 

Can the other parent challenge an Affidavit for Sole Decision-Making Responsibility for Children?

Yes, the other parent can challenge an Affidavit for Sole Decision-Making Responsibility for Children.

If one parent seeks sole decision-making responsibility, the other parent may oppose the request and present their own evidence to the court. The court will then assess both parents’ arguments and determine the most suitable decision-making arrangement in the best interests of the children. 

Does the court always grant sole decision-making responsibility to one parent when requested?

No, the court does not always grant sole decision-making responsibility to one parent when requested. The court’s primary consideration is the best interests of the children.

If it determines that shared decision-making or joint custody is in the children’s best interests, it may reject the request for sole decision-making responsibility. The court will assess various factors, such as the parents’ ability to cooperate and communicate, the children’s relationship with each parent, and the children’s specific needs, before making a decision.
