This manual is the only book designed for both residential and non-residential parents. Formatted and printed in a back-to-back manner, the book encourages both sides to understand the other's point of view, and so enables both parents to make the most of time spent with the children.
How To Parent with Your Ex provides support for the difficult situation the non-residential parent is in and practical, to-the-point advice about how to reap the most benefits from the visitation time available. Conversely, it addresses the role of the residential parent and the need to understand the changing relationships the child is going through. By focusing on the child, both parents are able to solidify a special relationship with the child and maintain necessary, positive communication with the ex-spouse.
Appendices for this text include various parenting organizations, publication resources, related websites and sample visitation plans and schedules.

From the Author
So you've been through the divorce, or you're just wrapping things up now and you're finding that continuing to parent with your ex is a lot harder than you expected. You're not alone. Many, many parents find themselves in this situation. I wrote this book to help parents deal with the problems that come up when you're living with a custody and visitation plan. You probably read a lot of books about how to survive your divorce, help your child through it, and cope. But there isn't a lot of help out there for parents once they come through the divorce -- or for parents who were never married and must make a parenting plan work.
I worked with lots and lots of families like yours when I was a family law attorney and I've filled this book with the advice that I gave those clients to help them figure out a way to make things work.
Brette McWhorter Sember is one of the best when it comes to practical, down-to-earth advice for anything divorce-related. This book shows that divorce doesn't have to mean bad news for kids, that there really is a win-win in the divorce equation.
