Co-parenting

When parents war, children lose. Think about this. When

parents continually fight before and after a divorce or a paternity

case, who wins? No one. What happens? Your children are

caught in the crossfire. They become wounded psychologically -

depressed, fearful, insecure, disillusioned, vulnerable and hopeless.

Is “letting it all out” and “taking the other parent to the

cleaners” really worth the price your children will pay?

Nearly every parent who is facing divorce or going through a

custody case wonders and worries about the effect it will have on

their children. This is a valid concern, and should always be your

foremost consideration when making decisions about your family.

Your children will be impacted. There is no hiding this fact, and it

shouldn’t be something that you bury your head in the sand

about. Remember how you behave and act is the most important

determinant of how your children will feel and cope.
