Co-Parenting
Parents who co-parenting provides the best environment to raise a child. Parenting is complicated and when parents work together to raise their child, the child has the best outcome. Co-parenting can be done successfully, even when parents do not live in the same house.
Parents should make the decisions about the child together and hopefully agree on what they will do to raise their child. In homes where both parents cannot do this or if the parents do not live in the same house, it is still possible to make decisions together. Co-parenting is something that can be worked out to benefit children who do not have parents that live together.
Co-parenting agreements can help parents make decisions about the care of their child. The agreements can deal with issues about education, religious teaching and other parenting decisions that have to be made. The co-parenting agreements can identify how choices are to be made for the child. When parents do not live together, co-parenting agreements are the best way to make sure that both parents have a say in how the child is parented. It will help no matter what the custody agreement is and is enforceable when it is not followed.
