CoParenting > Practical Guide  >  About us

About us The principle of coparenting states that a child always has the right to maintain a stable relationship and contact with both parents, even if they are separated or divorced, unless there is a recognized need to separate him/her from one or both parents....   The principle of coparenting states that a child always has the right to maintain a stable relationship and contact with both parents, even if they are separated or divorced, unless there is a recognized need to separate him/her from one or both parents. This right is based on the premise that parents are committed to the best interest of their children - not necessarily that of the other parent. A commitment to the best interest of the children may never be threatened by the parents' relationship. The coparenting opposes the habit to grant custody of a child exclusively to a single parent. Coparenting promotes responsible shared parenting to ensure children receive care and love from both parents. Coparenting poses unique challenges to parents and children, but, when coparenting doesn't happen, children can sustain permanent emotional damage. Organizing the child's life and activities, making sure that children receive consistent types and styles of discipline, and ensuring both parents are made aware of issues in a child's life, are just some of the challenges. Successful coparenting creates a safe and loving environment for children and can save millions in potential litigation.
