Divorce is more than the end of a marriage — it’s the start of a new chapter in parenting. With about 40% of first marriages ending in divorce in the U.S., the way you co-parent after separation will ripple through your children’s future milestones. Mediation offers a roadmap: respectful communication, clear agreements, and genuine cooperation. Choose the path that preserves your child’s memories, not burdens them with conflict.

The hardest part of co-parenting often isn’t parenting — it’s managing your emotions when your ex moves on. Here’s how to keep the peace, stay sane, and create a stable environment for your kids (without losing yourself in the process).

No matter how “amicable” the split, the first year after divorce—especially with kids—is a minefield of emotions, logistics, and hard new beginnings. But there is a way through it, and mediation can help lay the groundwork.
