Then, you can seek ways to help your teen continue to meet their obligations and pursue their interests with minimal disruption. Often, this means that you&#8217;ll need to consider the child&#8217;s busy schedule when creating your own&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/services\/child-custody\/\">custody<\/a>&nbsp;schedule. Both parents should cooperate to work out a schedule that allows their teenage child to attend after-school activities, practice with their sports team(s), and\/or make it to their shifts at their part-time job just as they did before the divorce. You&#8217;ll also need to make sure that both parents are on the same page about household rules, such as what time curfew is or when the child can borrow a parent&#8217;s car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most effective way to ensure that a teenage child&#8217;s needs are met is to communicate and collaborate on constructive solutions, which may require outside help. Increasing numbers of parents are choosing a parenting coordinator, an expert in adolescent development who can help them resolve problems that arise later, and including them in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/services\/divorce\/collaborative-divorce\/\">divorce<\/a>&nbsp;decree. This proactive approach ensures that you&#8217;ll be able to handle whatever comes up down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Goranson Bain Ausley, our attorneys can help you work toward a resolution that takes care of your child&#8217;s needs as well as your own.
