Child Custody May have Utah Parents Considering Co-Parenting

For some Utah parents, working together for the benefit of their children after a divorce could be a common goal. Depending on the outcomes of child custody proceedings, this goal may work out better for some parents than others. However, if co-parenting is an avenue that divorced parents would like to navigate, it is important that they remember to keep the best interests of their children in mind.

When divorced parents hope to remain a team while raising their children, communication is a big factor. If parents are unable to express their wishes for the rules and treatment of their children, one parent may end up taking more control, and the situation may not feel like co-parenting. It may also be prudent to communicate via email or text message in order to keep records of any agreements that are made between the parents in case an issue arises.

In some cases, parents may need assistance when it comes to co-parenting successfully. Therefore, family counseling could be an option that parents may wish their ex-spouse and children participate in. Previous issues may be able to be worked out during counseling, and parenting together as a divorced couple may become easier.

Before co-parenting can take place, parents must come to child custody agreements. Depending on the circumstances of the divorce, co-parenting may not even be an option. No matter what the case, parents should ensure that agreements are made that will benefit the children involved. By better understanding child custody options in Utah, parents may have a better idea of what they wish to work toward during their proceedings.

Loved working with Daniel and the whole team. Great service.
Marco and his team at Brown Family Law have created nearly the perfect system for getting divorced in Utah. From the initial intake, to gathering all of the necessary documentation, to the client communication in between. There is so much work that goes into getting divorced, but with Marco and his team you'll always know where you are in the process and what happens next, which is such a comfort. Would highly recommend.
I would give them 10 stars if I could. Clay was professional and super organized. He took the time to explain everything. I would highly recommend him for any family law needed. Melanie was a godsend. She not only kept me continually informed of the progress, she sent texts of encouragement and support throughout the entire process. I would give her 100 stars for going above and beyond to make this experience less stressful. Her encouragement and genuine caring were comforting and calming. The entire staff at Brown Law are on your side and if you are lucky enough to get Clay and Melanie on your team you will not be disappointed. Thanks! Mack M.
Response from the owner:Wow, thank you so much. Melanie is great. Glad she helped you so well.
