Co-parenting After Going Through a Divorce

Hey there, amazing parents! Going through a divorce can be tough, and one challenge often overlooked is the art of co-parenting. We get it – setting rules and maintaining consistency can feel like a tricky juggling act. But fear not, we’re here with some friendly tips to help you navigate these common problems.

1. Setting Clear Boundaries: 🚀

The key to a successful co-parenting journey? Communication! Have an open and honest discussion with your co-parent about everything – devices, bedtime, communication, you name it. This ensures both households follow the same system, providing your child with a consistent environment.

2. Carry Out Those Boundaries: 🔄

While you can’t control what happens at the other parent’s house, you can control your own actions. Stick to the boundaries you’ve set to create a sense of stability for your child. Regular check-ins with your co-parent can also help keep everyone on the same page.

3. Regular Communication: 🗣️

Speaking of check-ins, find a basis and timetable that suits both of you. This regular communication ensures you’re always on the same wavelength. Remember, it’s all about teamwork!

4. Embrace Change: 🔄

Just like life, boundaries change as your child grows. Be open to adjustments in bedtimes, schools, activities, and more. If you’re wondering how to document these changes, check out Florida Statute 61.13 and consider incorporating them into your parenting plan.
