Roughly half of American children will experience parental divorce, and about 25% will experience one or both parents' second marriages. Co-parenting after divorce can be challenging when there are hurt feelings and stressors related to custody and finances. It is important to remain supportive through the process; this can look like 1-advocating for the best interest of your child(ren), 2-sharing child care, 3-managing child conflict, and 4-being supportive towards each other as parents. Being successful in co-parenting requires respect, negotiation, compassion, and validation from each.
