How are you getting along with your co-parent? Not so great? Well, its time to put down the magnifying glass, and pick up the mirror!

It’s simple to have an uncontested divorce, and to minimize the damage of the divorce process on your relationship with your co-parent. Here’s one way to get it on track. Ask yourself this question:

When was the last time you said “Thank You” to your co-parent? For being interested in seeing the children? For paying their child support? For anything at all?

Isn’t it just possible that you will get more of what you want, if you look for the positive, rather than what’s wrong, what’s missing, and ACKNOWLEDGE your co-parent for it? How different would your relationship be if you did this at the beginning of every conversation with them?

It’s your JOB to get along with your co-parent. It’s the LAW. Most importantly, it’s what’s BEST for your children’s mental, emotional, psychological and, yes, their medical well-being. We all know what stress does to us, don’t we?

So, save yourself a bunch of money on divorce lawyers, and give your family a break. The next time you see or speak with your co-parent, how about digging deep and finding something positive to say, something to thank them for? It’s EASY once you remember - it’s for the KIDS!
