Coparents

Coparents, also known as co-parents, are individuals who share the responsibility of raising a child after a divorce or separation. This term is often used in legal and family law contexts to describe the relationship between two adults who have joint custody of a child. Coparents may have different living arrangements, such as one parent living with the child and the other visiting, or they may share custody on a more equal basis. Effective coparenting involves clear communication, cooperation, and a shared commitment to the child's well-being. Legal agreements, such as custody orders and parenting plans, are typically established to outline the responsibilities and expectations of each coparent. The goal of coparenting is to create a stable and supportive environment for the child, ensuring that both parents have a meaningful role in their life.
