Need help with Co-Parenting conflict?
Splitting up when you have children together is hard enough. Then, you’re expected to suddenly adapt to the “co-parent” role overnight and instinctively know how to work with your ex without conflict. Often, it takes years for parents to find a rhythm and work as an effective team.
For many separated parents, while their intentions are to be collaborative, co-parenting turns out to be more difficult than they expected or they find themselves in disagreements over key decisions.
Co-Parenting Conflict Mediation can help you and your co-parent work through conflict, make tough decisions together and work towards a more collaborative dynamic that puts your child's needs first.
What is Co-Parenting Conflict Mediation?
Whether you are just separating or have been divorced for years, a mediator can help you communicate effectively with your ex, make joint decisions relating to your children and prevent escalation of conflict.
Most parents would benefit immensely from a neutral third party to help them through the difficult conversations that inevitably come along with co-parenting children together.
