Co-parents transitioning through the divorce process are successful when they share the same qualities:

1. Co-parents who share one common goal to keep their children out of conflict and peacefully transition through the divorce process.
2. Co-parents are mindful of the emotions they suffer during the divorce process. Co-parents are able to manage their own emotions to the point where they are able to make difficult decisions that best address their childrens' needs.
3. Co-parents are mindful of where their child's other parent is in the process of the divorce. Having empathy provides the ability to listen, understand and respond to one another.
4. Co-parents who come up with a method and means to communicate with their child's other parent. Co-parents who find ways to reduce tension and lessen conflict.
5. Co-parents understand the need to focus on their children. Co-parents who understand that the divorce process doesn't just affect them, it affects their kids as well.
6. Co-parents who are constantly on the lookout for options and resources that can help solve the conflict they have with their child's other parent.
7. Co-parents don't try to solve their conflict by first running to the courthouse. Co-parents exhaust all other options to resolve their dispute before involving a Family Law Judge.
8. Co-parents understand that the Co- in coparenting stands for collaboration, not conflict.
9. Successful co-parenting takes patience and dedication to a defined process.
10. Co-parents understand that coparenting is more about the journey than it is about a destination. Mistakes will be made.

Patience is the word of the day.

Laws on how money is split in a divorce vary from state to state, but they will almost always employ one of two traditional methods of distribution - The "Community Property" Method, or the "Equitable Distribution" Method. In a Community Property State, marital property is divided 50-50. In an Equitable Distribution State, marital property is divided equitably (fairly), based on a range of considerations.

Conventional wisdom will sometimes suggest to avoid officially tying the knot with your Chapter Two partner so as to not lose your rights to alimony from your first spouse. The truth is, however, that even moving in with your partner could be grounds for the court to modify an alimony arrangement. In this case, it's best to get specific advice before you make any changes.

Alimony and child support agreements tend to be for fixed sums, and typically take into account the possibility that the sides' personal and financial circumstances might not stay entirely on track. Still, if an individual experiences a particularly extreme life change, they can always petition the court to have the agreement reexamined.

While many responsibilities of legal guardians don't factor in socioeconomic status, wealth can sometimes color how much burden the court will place on a parent. For example, a well-to-do non-custodial parent could be expected to fit the bill for private school education if that is the standard in the community where the family is living.

Divorce is a step that should only normally be taken when the relationship can't be repaired. If the differences can be bridged, mediation or couples counseling should at least be attempted.

Building a blended family with children from previous marriages comes with all kinds of lifestyle decisions. However you decide to do things on a daily basis, it's usually a good idea to keep at least some of your finances separate so that your children know that their inheritance is distinct from their step-siblings.

In an uncontested divorce, the parties agree on all the arrangements without filing claims against each other and only need to go to court to have arrangements certified by a judge so that they can be enforced later on. Aside from the fact that uncontested divorces are far more stress-free, an added bonus is that you can get imaginative and find personalized solutions to your unique issues that only you and you alone can solve.
