As a divorced parent I make it my job to make sure I remain friends with their father.....its not a legal thing....just BETTER FOR THE KIDS!!
One would think this would be obvious to parents but apparently when the D word comes up they figure its ok to ONLY think about themselves and what they are going through....meanwhile their kids are terrified. My kids are teens now....and I still after 7 years of divorce find that people are shocked I am friends with my ex. I can tell you my son has told me it made it easier for him. For us too.....no battles over stuff....we talk weekly about the kids.Are there any legal ';Codes of Behavior'; that divorced couples with children need to adhere to?
Not much of one, unfortunately. Its why we see children in the mess they are today.
The ACLU wouldnt allow the government to set forth laws that would be HEALTHY for the kids, because it might infringe on some nutcase parents rights.
Attornies have made such a screaming mess of our country that it would be nice to go back 250 yrs and outlaw them.
Actually, yes there can be. Usually, this is laid down in the divorce decree. If it isn't in the decree, it isn't much of a problem - outside of common decency %26amp; child care, etc. MANY states require that BOTH parents attend a parenting class that teaches them how to deal with their children %26amp; support their children emotionally through the divorce process. Arkansas does this, and so do many other states.
Use common sense and not revenge. Your children are children. They don't need to see or hear you fighting and they don't need to be in the middle.
Just do what is best for the children.
