Parenting through a divorce can be a complicated and challenging experience to do alone.
But this doesn’t happen automatically; it requires work – and a lot of it.
Your children don’t need you and your spouse to fight over them – what they need is for you to stop fighting with each other.
Luckily, statistics show that children report that their parents get along better after a divorce than during the latter part of their marriage.
If your children are under 16, you are required to complete a course mandated by the Government of Alberta called Parenting After Separation. It is now available online. Once you have done your research and understand what your children need, you can develop a parenting plan with the help of a trained mediator.
