“A co-parenting situation is the best for children, but if you have a high-conflict ex, you're going to parallel parent for the rest of the time that you're parenting. So in co-parenting, you're basically parenting very similarly to the way you would be if you were sharing the same home. In parallel parenting, you're putting up walls and making sure that there aren't breaches.”
