Sheri Rupsic and her ex-husband always remained civil to each other for the sake of their daughter.

Divorced for 13 years, the Eastlake resident is now happily remarried and has an 8-year-old son with her second husband.

Her ex also is remarried, with a 1-year-old.

The six of them now make up a happy, albeit unlikely, family.”We always say it is the four of us raising three children,” Rupsic said. “Our son sleeps over at their house and we have had their baby spend the night several times since he was born. My ex-husband’s wife is now one of my closest and dearest friends. We lean on each other all the time.”

Experts say this type of friendly divorce is becoming more and more common.
