Five months into the divorce, Mark is enjoying his time with his kids, but struggles with supporting his kids when they complain about not having enough quality time with their mom. We discuss the pros and cons of making changes to the parenting schedule that will give kids more frequent contact with both parents, and think about ways to communicate productively with the other parent about concerns that the kids are raising about their time with the other parent.
Topics include:
• Supporting kids when they miss the other parent
• When your ex isn't spending enough quality time with your kids
• Handling disagreements with the ex when the kids are present
• Parenting schedule: How often should kids see each of the parents?
• Communicating with the ex about complaints that kids express about their time with the ex
