Co-Parenting:

Co-parenting describes a parenting situation where two parents work together to raise a child even though they are divorced, separated or no longer living together.

The research on children and divorce has identified a wide range of factors affecting children’s adjustment to the consequences of divorce. Principal among these are children’s needs for thefollowing:

• maintenance of meaningful parental relationships with and the love of both of their parents;

• being shielded from ongoing parental conflict and family violence;

• stability in their daily routines; and

• financial security.

All of these are severely compromised in the context of adversarial divorce. 

While the ideal situation would be to have a harmonious business partnership relationship with the co-parent, this is easier said than done.  We are able to provide Co-Parenting Coaching Sessions to help parents formulate a family plan as a guide to raising your children and provide guidance on communication, consistency, dealing with unique family situations and forming a business type partnership with the co-parent.
