If you are having difficulties with the other parent, do everything you can to resolve your differences and move forward.

Try this questionnaire for separated parents who are having trouble with their children's behaviour recommended by Psychologist Dr Richard Warshak.

When in a dispute, your decisions become clouded by anger and emotions. Don't allow yourself to be lured into using the Family Court to apply for sole custody because you believe that you are the better parent. One day when your children are grown up they will tell you of the upset to their life caused by your selfish actions as the Vincenti sisters did to 60 minutes.

Even worse, do not allow yourself to consciously or unconsciously cut your children off from the other parent (ie 'Pathogenic Parenting') as one day when they realise what was done to them they will be very unhappy that you deprived them of a loving parent for their childhood.

If you have major unresolved conflict with the other parent, the damage to your child IS permanent.
