Coparenting and moving on
Settling into your new family model
People often think that the experience of divorce ends after the final decree is sealed by the court. Unfortunately, even if you never have to see your ex again, the impacts of divorce are often felt for many years afterwards:
✔ strained communication with your ex
✔ disagreements about your child arrangements
✔ new partners and step-siblings entering the picture
✔ ongoing intrusion and controlling behaviour from your ex
✔ difficulties moving on with your life.
As time passes, your divorce support system might have dwindled away and you may feel more lonely than ever in overcoming the challenges of your new life. This isn’t just theory, it’s personal experience as well. I have been successfully coparenting with my ex for over 10 years, both locally and long distance. I am also a step-mum to my post-divorce partner’s children, so I know first-hand how challenging it can be.
Struggling to recover from your divorce experience?
We will work together to help you reconnect with your core values and define your new life . No matter what difficulties you are facing (financial, emotional, self-confidence, difficulty moving on…), we will build strategies to rebuild your resilience and set you up for the fulfilling life you deserve.
Facing ongoing challenges with coparenting?
Effective coparenting is a recurring challenge for anyone who has children with their ex, and the most common source of arguments. We will work through your coparenting challenges and identify levers you can pull to improve your relationship with your ex and preserve your children’s best interests.
Are changes in circumstances affecting your arrangements?
It is not uncommon for couples to have to revisit their child arrangements a few years later, especially if significant changes occurred such as someone getting remarried, losing their job or moving abroad. You can come to me individually or as a couple to discuss required amendments to your arrangements and reach an updated agreement.
