Parenting Tips for Divorcing Couples With Children
- Develop a new co-parenting style, which avoids conflict with each other.

- Never involve your children in parental disagreements.

- Don't let your emotions about one another control the decisions you make regarding your children.

-Treat your children as children and not as adults.

- Avoid giving children information on finances or custody.

- Avoid depending on children to fill your emotional needs.

- Never say bad things about the other parent in front of your children.

- Asking your children about the other parent is spying. Don't ask your child to violate a trust.

- Never pass messages or things to one another through your child; talk directly with each other about things related to your child.

- Correct any misconceptions the child has about the divorce.

- Recognize and respect the wide range of feelings that your child has regarding the divorce.

- Put in place a consistent set of rules for both houses.

- Recognize that your child is not divorcing the other parent's family.
