Co-Parent Communication & Decision-Making Guidelines

$30.00

Co-parenting with someone who thrives on conflict can feel like the wild west—no rules, no clarity, and every message feels like a new ambush. It’s exhausting to constantly defend yourself, chase down answers, or try to negotiate with a parent who refuses to cooperate. And when the communication breaks down, your child is the one who ends up paying the price.

This is exactly why I created the Co-Parent Communication & Decision-Making Guidelines, the same structured, court-informed system I teach my private coaching clients. These protocols bring order to chaos. They replace reactive messaging with a step-by-step process that protects your time, your sanity, and most importantly, your child’s well-being.

This is a must-have tool for any parent navigating the storm of co-parenting with someone who is inconsistent, manipulative, combative, or chronically unresponsive. Instead of being pulled into their dysfunction, these protocols give you a framework that keeps you grounded, organized, and aligned with the expectations of family-court professionals.

You can start using it immediately, and you can share it with your court-appointed parent coordinator, decision-maker, mediator, or co-parenting coach to streamline communication and reduce conflict across the board. This is the roadmap you wish you had on day one.
