A great article on how to remain on amicable terms with your ex after the divorce can be found here.

While it is not possible for all couples to remain on friendly terms after a divorce if it is possible to do so it is in everyone’s best interest, especially if children are involved.

The article includes these tips from New York City matrimonial lawyer Nancy Chemtob for striving for a ‘good divorce’:

• Put your kids first: “The most important thing to children is that they still have a relationship with both of their parents,” she says.

• Don’t be petty: Make sure every discussion isn’t a rehash of why you got divorced. “It’s not about winning a fight anymore.”

• Be inclusive: “If you’d include a friend who has nowhere to go on Thanksgiving or birthdays, why not include your ex-spouse?”
