Co-Parenting after Divorce

Divorce can be a difficult experience for everyone in your family. As difficult as it may be for you, though, it may hurt your children even more. They will not likely understand exactly what is going on, and they might worry that they won’t be able to have the same relationship with their parents that they once had. Naturally, you’ll want to help your children with these fears.

Co-parenting is a recent idea that attempts to fix the parenting complications that go along with divorce. Rather than make one parent the sole custodial parent, co-parenting actively involves both parents sharing custody of the children to keep both former spouses equally involved in parenting and child-rearing issues. One of the biggest problems in divorce is the likelihood of a parent losing the relationship he or she previously had with the children. In a co-parenting situation, both parents are able to spend time with their kids.

Co-parenting is based on the belief that all children deserve a relationship with both parents, and that both parents have a responsibility to be there for their children. Rather than the children living with one parent, the children spend time living with each parent, allowing them to share longer, more involved quality time that might otherwise be denied them in a more traditional divorce situation.
