Joint custody works, but it's not easy
Joint custody works, but it's not easy
By Kirsten Feldman
Excerpts:
My children's father and I separated and then divorced several years ago, when my son was in kindergarten. Next year he'll be starting middle school.
I certainly think my children have benefited from joint custody, in our case meaning that they might spend some nights at their father's house and some nights at ours in a given week, and we trade off for vacations and holidays.
Their father and I are amicable, and we have worked out the intricacies of having bicycles, and homework, and sports equipment in the right place at the right time. We attend teacher conferences together. We have resolved thorny issues involving religion and dentistry and Christmas dinner. I hope we are setting a good example for our children of how to relate to someone with whom you differ.
