"Going through a divorce marked by constant arguing and a lack of cooperation can be an emotional roller coaster. If you're dealing with anger, blame, or emotional abuse, know that you are not alone. High-conflict divorces often make it more difficult to reach agreements, leading to more court appearances. Unfortunately, these separations tend to drag on. This drives up divorce costs and creates more stress for everyone involved, especially children."
"Download a Co-Parenting App: Use messaging apps like OurFamilyWizard or TalkingParents to keep a written record of every conversation. This can reduce miscommunication. These tools let you keep all messages, calendars, and file sharing in one place. Set Your Boundaries and Stick to Them: Make it clear that you will only reply to messages about parenting schedules, school needs, or similar topics regarding your children."
High-conflict divorces involve frequent arguing, lack of cooperation, and sometimes threats, name-calling, or false accusations, causing emotional turmoil and increased court involvement. Such separations often drag out, increasing costs and stress for parents and children. Intentional planning can reduce escalation and protect time, energy, and finances. Practical tools include using co-parenting apps to keep written records of messages, calendars, and shared files to reduce miscommunication. Clear boundaries limit communication to parenting and child-related topics, and choosing public, neutral locations for in-person meetings can set a civil tone. Walking away from abusive exchanges preserves safety and reduces escalation.
