Planning parenthood in the divorce transition-through mediation

The purpose of this article is to assist parents, by means of mediation, in the transition from being a nuclear family to a bi-nuclear family. During the process, the needs of the children are taken into consideration as well as the particular difficulties of the parents, who no longer function as a couple but rather as two independent individuals jointly responsible for rearing their children. The article offers a way to create a common basis for discussion between the two spouses, who are in a conflictual situation, in order to jointly plan their parenthood in terms of times, roles, and content.
