When a marriage falls apart, trust issues often exist, as well as some potential animosity. Divorcing spouses frequently do not see eye to eye. When children are involved, divorcing parents may have differing opinions about how to raise the kids. However, even when parents agree on what best serves the well-being of their children, transitioning from a one-household family to two can raise concerns for any parent.
Some people find irony in trying to arrange an ongoing co-parenting plan with the person with whom they are parting ways. But the truth of the matter is, parents can resolve co-parenting issues in divorce to benefit their children.
At the Plymouth law firm of Selleck Legal, PLLC, our founding lawyer, Stacey L. Selleck, takes an individualized approach to resolving child custody and parenting time problems.
The family court is not concerned about the personal animus parents may have for each other in child custody matters. The goal of the Friend of the Court office and the family court is to serve the best interests of the child. For that reason, parents who are able to focus on the well-being of the children, despite their feelings toward their co-parent, may be able to retain more flexibility with a reasonable parenting time arrangement.
Below are a few tips that may help you ease the transitions for your children today, and into the future:
