Nurtured Children’s and Co-Parenting Plan™
When sharing news of your separation, sit down together to provide unified reassurance. Explain your new living arrangements simply, emphasizing your continued love and commitment to their wellbeing. Assure them that joint custody means they'll have consistent, quality time in both homes, always keeping the child's best interest at heart. Older kids may benefit from private conversations tailored to their emotional needs.
Avoid language suggesting abandonment or lost love between parents. Instead, clearly explain your shared parenting arrangement and reassure your kids they'll maintain strong relationships with both parents. Never ask them to pick sides or choose living arrangements; instead, seek their feedback on schedules and routines. Remember, separated parents making decisions cooperatively reduces stress and anxiety for everyone.
A child-focused co-parenting plan puts your child's best interest first, establishing clear guidelines on living arrangements, child care schedules, education, and joint custody decisions. At Fairway Divorce Solutions, our skilled family mediation professionals guide you in crafting a personalized parenting plan that aligns with family law, ensuring stability and minimizing conflict between separated parents.
Make transitions comfortable by clearly communicating schedules and involving your children in personalizing their spaces at each home.
