As parents, you and your spouse have many decisions to make about the wellbeing of your child. While you were married, there may have been some disagreements about such matters, but ultimately they were settled. Why? Well, because you and your spouse looked beyond yourselves and made decisions that would benefit your child.

After a divorce, this process can get much more complicated. In many situations, seeing or talking to your ex is the last thing you want to do. But, the fact is, you have a child or children with this person and you’ll have to consult with your ex often to make important decisions on your child’s behalf.

Trying to Work Through Things on Your Own

When a couple is going through a divorce, there are usually a lot of raw emotions involved. Feelings of disloyalty, anger and hurt can cloud a person’s judgment when it comes to making decisions. Even after a couple has been divorced for years, those feelings may still be felt.

Trying to care for the needs of your child can be difficult when dealing with such feelings. Some couples are really good at putting their feelings aside and making important decisions. Others need some outside help.
