Co-Parenting
The process of divorce can be arduous, not only for the couple deciding to end their relationship, but also for any children involved. The stakes are high, when it comes to custody. A good co-parenting relationship is optimal for the children’s well-being.
It is important to recognize that you still form a family unit. Though your romantic relationship may have fizzled, remember that you are building a new relationship. This reinvention should be grounded with respect, patience, empathy, and open communication. Your former spouse may do things a little differently than you do, but always being respectful to them will give your children the consistency they deserve.
