Children sometimes view a divorce as a way to manipulate parents into giving them their own way. The issue here is that they might claim that one parent already approved an activity or that they get to do specific things at the other parent's house. By making these claims, they are hoping that they will get to do what they want.
Watch for signs of children playing one parent against the other
Passive-aggressive co-parents can make life miserable
Having to work with your ex on child custody matters isn't easy for most people. When you have to deal with one who is passive-aggressive, you might find that life is a lot more difficult than when you can get along together. There are many things that you might be able to do to make it a little easier to deal with your ex.
Your children deserve financial support
Some parents balk at the idea of having to pay child support, but this isn't something that should be seen as a negative action. Children are expensive. There isn't any reason why one parent should be left having to cover all of the costs of raising a child that it took two parents to make. We know that child support is sometimes a touchy subject, but it is one that must be addressed.
