Co-Parenting Basics

Co-parenting isn’t just a trendy buzzword—it’s a meaningful, often complex approach to raising a child with an ex-partner. While the term may sound straightforward, successful co-parenting requires thoughtful planning, clear communication, and legal awareness.

When both parents live under the same roof, coordinating schedules, responsibilities, and decision-making can come more naturally. But when you’re no longer together and the only shared responsibility is your child, it’s crucial to have a proactive, structured plan in place. From managing calendars and doctor visits to tracking habits and handling unexpected changes, the stakes are high—and the best interest of your child should remain the priority.

Attorney Fagan’s Co-Parenting E-Book guides you through these realities with practical, experience-based strategies. Whether you’re dealing with inconsistent parenting, unexpected challenges, or shifting responsibilities, this guide offers a clear roadmap to help you advocate for your child and maintain a productive partnership with your co-parent.

Helpful forms and resources are available in the sidebar to support your journey as you work through the book.

With insights drawn from years of working with Texas families, Attorney Fagan’s team has helped countless parents create successful co-parenting arrangements. This e-book won’t replace legal counsel, but it will give you a solid foundation to start building a healthy, child-focused parenting dynamic.
