Divorce
is the end of a marriage - but not of a family. Since children of divorce
usually want to continue having relationships with both parents, ex-spouses
have to create and maintain a working relationship with one another, often
for a lifetime. Custody and visitation, as well as life events such as weddings
and graduations, ensure that divorced parents will continue to see one another
frequently, long after the marriage ends. That's why it's in your best interests
to be on amicable terms with your co-parent. Divorced parents are like business
partners. They don't have to be best friends, but they have an investment
they both care about, their children. Collaborative divorce therapy helps
parents work together despite their differences. Some couples are high conflict
at the beginning, whereas others come in who have started to find solutions.
There is no single formula that works for every couple. I can help you and
your ex create a parenting partnership that works despite your differences,
long after you sign the divorce agreement.
