co-parenting arrangements

Co-parenting arrangements refer to the way separated or divorced parents share responsibilities and decisions about their child's care. This can involve coordinated schedules for visitation, shared decision-making on education and health, and ongoing communication to prioritize the child's well-being. Effective co-parenting aims to create stability and consistency for the child while respecting both parents' roles and boundaries. The arrangement can be formal, outlined in a legal agreement, or informal, based on mutual understanding, and is designed to support the child's emotional and developmental needs while fostering positive relationships with both parents.
