I have been coparenting my daughter for the past 5 years and it getting easier each year. Communication strictly related to the child is key!
Business was handled via text, regarding the meet up time or pick up location to exchange our child and work week and weekends care arrangements were in effect. Any emergencies would result in a phone call, but those where kept to a minimum.
Each party understood, we are no longer in a relationship, we've both moved on with other relationships, and respected that. Introductions to who were seeing to know who'd be around our daughter was mutually agreed upon and done to have both parties in the know.
Each household houses what she needs for her stay so she travels only with her person and nothibg else to go back and forth between her father's home and mine.
I will say over the years, the texting is less and phone calls a little more to discuss what's going on in school and any activites. But other than that all is well. I treat it like a business deal almost. We don't ask personal questions and the main topic of all discussions are always our child and her future.
Does it work like this for anyone else?
