171: Coparenting Without the Drama. All the Advice to Consciously Coparent after Divorce or Separation, with the Authors of the Book "Baby Out of Wedlock"

In this episode of WGT, we pull a Gwyneth and talk "conscious uncoupling" and how to minimize the impact on kids. Tons of families are impacted by separation or divorce, and other families start with an agreement to raise a child in separate homes. But just because you're starting down a tough road doesn't mean it has to stay that way. The authors of the book and resource-filled site Baby Out of Wedlock, Jim and Jessica Braz, are here to talk about their own individual journeys with coparenting and how they raised children with coparents. What they did right, what they regret, and what they tell anyone dealing with this situation now--we cover it all. In this episode we talk: * Why it's possible to coparent civilly * When to hire a lawyer * Handling high-conflict situations * Infant visitation * Why you need a parenting coordinator * The importance of "phasing in" ...and so much more.
