You may still harbor hard feelings against your ex even after divorce. As difficult as it may be, it is important to put the interests of your children ahead of any ill feelings between you and your ex-spouse.

The following tips may be helpful in co-parenting with your ex-spouse:

• Communicate with your ex-spouse civilly;
• Talk to one another regarding rules and discipline of the children;
• Abide by similar dinner, bedtime, and homework schedules;
• Avoid high-conflict topics prior to exchanges;
• Encourage the children to have frequent and continuing contact with extended family;
• Discuss proposed custody schedule changes with your ex-spouse ahead of time.
