Divorce, Co-Parenting and Kids


About one in three children living in the United States are growing up in a single-family home. And among divorced couples with young children, moms are still more likely to have custody of kids after a split.

New research supports the theory that when moms and dads maintain a better co-parenting relationship, kids may be less likely to act out. In cases where there was not a good co-parenting arrangement, children externalized problem behaviors, like aggression and hyperactivity. Karberg said the research also has implications for fatherhood programs.

Many programs help fathers with employment and maintaining relationships with children, but Karberg said it’s also important to learn effective communication with an ex-partner or spouse to promote good co-parenting. Childrentrends
