What Is Co-Parenting, and Why Does It Matter?
Co-parenting means sharing responsibilities and decisions for your child’s well-being after separation or divorce. A strong co-parenting arrangement gives children consistency, stability, and the security of knowing both parents are actively involved. In North Carolina, courts encourage co-parenting whenever possible—especially in Wake, Durham, and Lee counties, where local judges prioritize the child’s best interests.
Practical Tips for Successful Co-Parenting
- Communicate Respectfully
Keep all communication child-focused and courteous. Use written methods (like texts or co-parenting apps) if direct conversation is difficult. - Stay Consistent With Schedules
Consistency helps children adjust and feel secure. Gantt Family Law can help you develop a detailed parenting plan that addresses holidays, vacations, and school events. - Support Your Child’s Relationship With the Other Parent
Children do best when they feel free to love both parents. Avoid negative comments or involving children in adult disagreements. - Be Flexible When Needed
Life is unpredictable. Accommodate reasonable changes when possible, and communicate early if adjustments are required. - Seek Help When Challenges Arise
If disagreements persist, mediation or legal guidance can help resolve disputes. Our attorneys can facilitate modifications or enforce orders if needed.
