How to handle common co-parenting problems

On Behalf of | Jun 2, 2017 | Family Law |

No one ever said co-parenting would be easy. In fact, it can be one of the most difficult things to face in life. Whether you are in the situation because of divorce or another factor, you will want to handle issues that arise with respect and dignity for the benefit of your child. Here are some tips for handling common co-parenting issues in Indiana.

One of the most common problems is that one of the parents in this situation continually breaks agreements. If there are written agreements in place that outline what is to happen when your child is with the other parent, they must be followed. If the other parent continues to break these rules, it must be dealt with immediately. Discuss with the other parent that they must follow the rules in place. If they feel they are too strict, you can meet to discuss a new agreement. If neither of these options work, it’s best to get your family law attorney involved in the discussion.

Failing to agree with the co-parent is a common problem that can be solved with a little bit of work. Create an agreement that outlines a host of different rules, if you don’t already have one in place. This can be done with the help of a family law attorney or a mediator. You should also consider compromising with the co-parent. You won’t get what you want all the time, but neither will he or she.

If the other parent simply does not like you, this can be very difficult to handle. It’s tough because you likely will see and interact with this person on a regular basis. But, for the health of your child, you need to put all differences aside and work together as best you can.

Co-parenting can be a very tenuous, stressful situation. You can learn more about this child custody option by speaking with an experienced family law attorney in Indianapolis.
