Co-parenting is not a new term, but has become more mainstream after high-profile divorces that include children such as the divorces of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James. Co-parenting is also included in the new Children’s Act of 2005 in South Africa. In short, co-parenting can be explained as follows: A family system consists of parents and children. After a divorce, this family system still exists, but now in two homes. A “bridge” between the two homes for the children is created by cooperatively managing the needs of the children through a Parenting Plan.
