Choose Your Battles
Best Long Island Divorce
Both co-parents have reasons to complain about the other, and there are plenty of minor disagreements that can come about over the way a child is raised. The other co-parent is more likely to compromise on larger issues if you have not already been insistent on smaller issues.
Take Your Child to the Coparent
Our Family Wizard
Each parent values their time with their child, and children are sometimes reluctant to leave either parent. For the emotional well-being of everyone involved, it is best for each parent to drop the child off with the other. That way neither parent is stopping the child from spending time with the other parent.
Do Not Overwhelm the Child
Although co-parents look forward to seeing their child again, there’s a risk of overwhelming the child by being too excited or having too many activities planned. Custody changes are disruptions in the child’s routine. Make the child feel like a welcomed member of the household rather than a celebrity.
