| <p><strong>What does the law mean by “best interests of the child”?</strong></p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| The “best interests of the child” is a legal test used to decide what would best | |||
| protect your child’s physical, psychological, and emotional safety, security and | |||
| well-being. To determine what is in the child’s best interests when making parenting | |||
| arrangements, you must consider factors including: | |||
| </p> | |||
| <ul> | |||
| <li>The child’s emotional health and well-being</li> | |||
| <li>The child’s views, unless it would be inappropriate to consider them</li> | |||
| <li>The child’s relationships with parents, guardians, and other important people</li> | |||
| <li>The history of care, and</li> | |||
| <li>The impact of any family violence</li> | |||
| </ul> | |||
| <p> | |||
| When you make an agreement about parenting arrangements after a separation, the law says | |||
| you must only consider the child’s best interests. And if you go to court, the judge can | |||
| only consider the child’s best interests in making parenting orders.. For more information | |||

| <p><strong>The benefits of using both courts (Provincial Court, Supreme Court)</strong></p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| In some situations, you may find it best to use both courts. You could get most of your | |||
| orders in Provincial Court, and then just apply for your divorce order in Supreme Court. | |||
| (You could also choose to make an agreement about parenting, support, and property and | |||
| then just apply to the Supreme Court for a divorce.) This approach might save you money | |||
| and time, especially if you and your spouse agree on what should be done. | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| On the other hand, it could make things more complicated to have to deal with two | |||
| different courts. It can also be a problem if you ask more than one court to deal with | |||
| issues about parenting and support. | |||
