Buddies or Partners – The Anatomy of Post-Separation Relationship

Co-parents in a post-divorce family should be helped to develop a willingness to maintain financial responsibilities, continue parental contact with their ex-spouse, and support contact of children with their ex-spouse and his or her family. Couples who haven’t begun to resolve the Emotional Divorce are much more likely to end up in a protracted, destructive, financially draining and family destroying legal process. Spouses divorce each other, but they do not divorce their children. While few former spouses can remain perfect pals, many more can be saved from the devastation of angry associates, fiery foes and dissolved duos. Divorce ends a relationship but not a family. Families in which the emotional issues of divorce are not adequately resolved can remain stuck for years. The families we make are the legacies we leave. What are your future dreams?
