Divorce is one of the most challenging transitions you and your children will ever face. When you are in the midst of a high-conflict divorce, it can feel overwhelming to think about how you and your ex will continue to raise your children together. But with the right guidance and support, you can create a co-parenting plan that keeps the focus on your children’s well-being.

At Mulhall Withrow, we understand the challenges of co-parenting, especially when trust between the parties is broken or communication feels impossible. Attorney Robert E. Withrow III has extensive experience handling high-conflict custody disputes. He has helped many parents move from constant fighting to healthier, more workable co-parenting arrangements.


Why Co-Parenting Matters

No matter how difficult things are between you and your ex, your children still need both of you. Studies show that children adjust better after divorce when both parents stay involved in their lives. Co-parenting gives your children the message that even though your marriage ended, their family is still strong in a new way.

You may not always agree with your ex – you are getting divorced, after all - but the way you handle those disagreements has a huge impact on your children. By focusing on your children’s needs instead of becoming embroiled in a conflict with your soon-to-be ex, you can reduce stress for everyone.


4 Common Challenges in Co-Parenting

Every family faces unique struggles, but some issues come up often, such as:

  1. Different parenting styles – You and your ex may not see eye-to-eye on bedtimes, schoolwork, diet, or discipline.
  2. Poor communication – Conversations about the most mundane issues can easily turn into arguments when emotions are raw.
  3. New relationships – Introducing a new partner can add more tension to an already contentious co-parenting relationship.
  4. Power struggles – When each parent wants to “win,” the children often lose.

When these problems escalate, co-parenting can feel impossible. That’s when having a skilled family law attorney by your side makes all the difference.
