The simple truth is that divorce can be hard on children’s lives. Their whole life is going to change and they may not quite know what is going on.

For that reason, joint custody can be the best option for your children. If you haven’t had a chance, you should check out my article about why you should try to have joint custody. You can check it out below.

That being said, joint custody can be very hard on children. Going back and forth between homes and parents can be quite a transition.

Here are some tips to make the transition go a little smoother.

Follow the same rules at both houses. Though you are two different parents and ways of parenting, this can be very challenging for your children. They are going to struggle to know what is alright and what isn’t when it comes to the rules. Instead, make sure that the rules are the same at both homes. It will save you a lot of hassle.
