When you are working together to create a plan for sharing your children you are emotionally coming from a place where the children’s needs are first. With them as the focus there is no fighting or trying to win the children over to get back at the other parent. You will avoid the pitfalls of those who are in fight mode and keep your children first. Your children will not have to endure some of the following:
- Fighting in front of the children.
- One or both of the parents saying derogatory things about the other in front of the children.
- Saying things which make your children feel it is not OK to want to talk to and/or see the other parent.
- Discussing the court proceedings with the children to get an advantage over the other parent.
- Having the children read the legal documents to get an advantage over the other parent.
- Making a scene at public events and special outings by arguing or insulting the other.
- Making the children feel like they have to take sides.
- Not allowing the children to take their clothes and belongings back and forth between homes.
