What is Co-Parenting?

Co-parenting is a term commonly used in the event of a divorce or separation between two or more parties, associated with the sharing of parental responsibilities. For individuals who have just separated or are in the process of separating, the idea of co-parenting can be daunting. On the face of it, individuals may be particularly concerned with how to ‘co-parent’ and whether or not there is a right or wrong way of doing this. Generally speaking, there is no universal approach, as everybody’s situations are unique to each individual and each family, but there are tips on working out how to do this amicably.

Our Family Law Experts, Rachel Spencer Robb and Harjit Rait, who are both experienced Partners and also long-standing members of Resolution.
