Tips to Successfully Co-parent After a Divorce

On Behalf of Lisa D. Stern | Dec 2, 2019 | Child Custody |

Many challenges can arise when co-parenting children after a divorce in Michigan. However, communicating with an ex-spouse is crucial if one wants their kids to grow up to be well-balanced and healthy adults. This means that co-parents may need to sit down and discuss strategies that will encourage their children to cooperate with the parenting plan.

To ensure that the parenting time schedule works well for the children, everyone involved should discuss the details. In many cases, younger children do better with parenting schedules where they do not have to transition between houses frequently. As for older children, they may want a bit more control over their personal schedules. Older kids tend to engage in more school activities and spend more time with their friends. If they do not have this flexibility, they may become resentful toward their parents.

For children to be successful living in two separate households, they need reassurance that they are loved by each parent. Some kids may balk when they have to visit one parent’s home. In such cases, it would be good to mention the importance of spending quality time with both parents. It is helpful to show enthusiasm when the children transition to the other household. This will help them feel secure.

No matter how much a co-parent tries to put their kid’s best interests first, they may find that their ex-spouse is becoming difficult to deal with. A person may want to discuss their situation with an attorney. Legal counsel could provide information about child custody options after a divorce.
