Post-divorce life, Part 3

Use your former spouse as a part of your support network. The only job you’re quitting is husband or wife. Friend and co-parent are still on your resume. No matter how you feel about your ex, treat your kids’ other parent with care. That means, among other things, agreeing in your written divorce agreement to turn to your spouse before hiring a babysitter. You will foster a spirit of cooperation that your kids will notice and appreciate.
