Co-parenting can be a difficult process. Major life decisions, such as those concerning religion, discipline, finances, morality, recreation, physical health, education and emergencies, can all cause a lot of strain when two parents differ on opinions. Here are some tips for successful co-parenting:
- Your feelings toward your ex should not dictate how you act toward them. Remaining friendly and cordial is the best way to help your kids through the divorce.
- Parenting time is very important. Do not deprive the other parent of their time with the kids. Honor your parenting schedules. If circumstances change, consider a custody modification.
- How your spouse raises the child is up to them. As long as the child is not suffering as a result, try to respect the choices of the other parent.
- Your new co-parenting relationship with your ex may be difficult and awkward at times. If you remain respectful, your spouse should mirror that.
- Respect each other’s privacy in all matters that do not relate to the child.
