How to Anticipate and Overcome the Difficulties of Co-parenting
For millions of years, most parents have learned together how to parent their children. It’s perfectly natural. They recall their own childhoods, watch, listen to and learn from others and each other. They accommodate any differences. And for much of the time, they will do a good job of it. But when they separate, parenting becomes a cause for arguments. Suddenly, parents behave in a way that they wouldn’t have done had they not separated. Courts cannot resolve these problems but a parenting plan can.
Parenting problems are not usually legal disputes, so why do so many parents go to court?
Imagine a world where parents who happily lived together sent each other letters through solicitors in an attempt to decide who should take time off work if the children are ill and unable to go to school. Imagine if the same parents instructed lawyers to send letters to each other to sort out how much time their children should spend with each of them during the school holidays. Now imagine the same parents asking a judge to decide which school their children should go to? It would be crazy wouldn’t it?
