Achievable Co-Parenting

• Is hostility between you and your ex hurting your children?
• Is your old spouse sabotaging your new relationships?
• Are your custody logistics a waking nightmare?

If you find yourself wincing at the mere sight of your ex’s name on caller id, then this class is for you. Move from chaos to cooperation with techniques learned in a one-day class.

Achievable Co-Parenting is based on research findings and extensive clinical experience in teaching parenting classes and working with divorcing parents in private practice. It’s also designed around the curriculum standards of the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Achievable Co-Parenting provides practical tools for co-parenting regardless of negative feelings between former spouses, and prepares parents for parenting during remarriage. It’s broken into 3 segments: The Breakup, Co-Parenting, and Remarriage.

The Breakup provides closure and helps you move past the anger and loss of the old relationship. Co-Parenting gives you the nuts and bolts of healthy co-parenting. Remarriage prepares you for co-parenting after one or both parents remarry.

Here's what to expect.

The Break-Up
