Emotions run high in divorce, so the thought of co-parenting with your ex-spouse may be one of the last things you would ever want to do. However, in the best interest of your children, it is necessary in some cases. Remembering that co-parenting is a healthy dynamic and a generally positive circumstance for your children when both parents are cooperative can help you manage the feelings that come with it. 

If you are going through a divorce, the Miami family law attorneys at Rafool, LLC. can help you through the legal process. 

Set boundaries while co-parenting

The first thing you want to do is ensure you have set firm boundaries with your ex-spouse, not only with you but also with your children. You want to make sure you two are on the same page regarding rules for your kids. Clearly communicate these boundaries and bring up ideas that may bother you in the future (such as calling too often when your children are spending time with you.) Keep those boundaries established even if a new significant other enters the picture for either you or your ex-spouse. 

Along the lines of communication, you want to be as clear as possible. Even when a Miami FL divorce attorney is involved in a highly emotional situation, it can be easy to act on impulse and make snap decisions. However, you want to make sure you are thinking clearly and do not overreact. The goal is to make it as pleasant as possible for your children, and tumultuous arguments do not help. Commit to communicating often and keep conversations focused on the children.
