Yes, a friendly divorce is achievable when parents prioritize cooperation and children’s well-being

Creating an amicable divorce environment benefits everyone, especially children. The key is maintaining a respectful co-parenting relationship focused on your children’s emotional and physical needs. Success requires commitment from both parents to:

• Develop a detailed, flexible parenting plan that outlines schedules, responsibilities, and decision-making processes
• Keep communication channels open and professional, using dedicated co-parenting apps if needed
• Shield children from adult conflicts and never use them as messengers
• Maintain consistent routines and boundaries across both households
• Support the children’s relationships with both parents and extended family
• Consider family counselling or mediation to establish healthy communication patterns

Remember that a friendly divorce doesn’t mean being best friends—it means creating a cooperative partnership that prioritizes your children’s well-being and stability during and after the transition.
