Co-parenting young children can be hard – helping them understand why their parents are no longer together, managing pickups and drop-offs, figuring out class snack day, and more. But as they transition from kids to teenagers and young adults, the problems don’t go away, they only evolve.

Choosing an alternative divorce route has its benefits, and one of the strongest advantages is the opportunity to reach a fair divorce settlement that both you and your spouse can agree on.
There’s a line from a Robert Frost poem about how good fences make good neighbors, and while it was penned back in 1914, the idea is still relevant today.
