Cooperative co-parenting with an Ex is the goal when you've got kids moving between two homes. You likely want your kids to experience peaceful transitions — you want to avoid tension and conflict as you negotiate with your Ex-Spouse.
But sometimes this seems like an impossible goal.
That's because setting healthy, appropriate boundaries in co-parenting without triggering conflict feels just out of reach.

The 3 practical strategies we land on will help you develop appropriate boundaries with an Ex and give you a simple framework for setting and maintaining those boundaries.
