Divorce Parenting with a Plan Your starting decision should be a visitation schedule. Now I don’t know what your situation is, but it will be positive for your kids if you share custody. If you happen to get full custody of your minors than, please make sure your ex partner is involved. I know you might sometimes be angry at your ex spouse, but you don’t need to keep your children from seeing their father or mother. Your next order of concern should be finances. Now typically speaking the person who has custody gets 10% - 25% of the other parent’s income. I tend to think that this is the wrong way of addressing with the situation. I grew up with separated parents, and it was more horrible when my mother took my father to court for child support. Every time my father would come visit me, they would start fighting. The greatest times I got growing up were when we were all together. My parents agree to divide costs and custody evenly. I recommend you adopt a similar plan. You should split the costs of the spending for your children right down the middle. This will ensure a healthy family relationship. You might want to discuss your children’s education. You should both be playing a role in your children’s education. It is fine if you decide to take care of your children at different times, just when it comes to education you should both be there in helping them learn. Since my parents were fighting at the beginning of my childhood; I used to go to the library to study and learn. You know I have never been to Disney World, but going to the library felt like that for me. This is the most important part of divorce parenting and parenting in whole, discipline. You need to make a certain set of house rules and discipline that work well with both of you. You don’t want one parent being the strict one, while the other one plays the nice one. Even though you live in other households you are still considered a couple when it comes to your children’s hearts. If you want to learn more about discipline see this website: ParentingHelpCentral.com As long as you both make similar guidelines when it comes to disciplining you should do okay. Working together as divorce parents might be tedious at first, but as long as you adopt a set plan you should be able to make the transition smoother on your kids. But remember be respectful of your ex spouse and don’t place your minors in the middle of anything.
