If you separate and have children, one of the first questions you’ll be asking yourselves is: how do we co-parent in this new reality? What arrangements are going to work for our children and ourselves, in the short and the long term? What if we can’t agree?
The first thing to know if that it is completely normal not to agree about the future arrangements for your children. Divorce is a life change, and on some aspects of their care you may well both be pulling in different directions.
What matters isn’t reaching agreement straight away (hardly anyone does). What’s important is how to navigate your inevitable disagreements.
