Parenting after separation can feel like learning a new language. You’re still a team, just with a different shape. While every family’s story looks different, one truth always stands out: children thrive when their parents can work together calmly and consistently.

At Quickie Divorce. Our goal is to help you manage the legal side quickly & affordably so you can focus on what really matters: your children.

That’s also why we’ve partnered with Family Flow: The Divorce Collective, a community of divorce coaches who support families in finding their footing emotionally after separation. Together, we’re helping families build strong, stable co-parenting relationships even after things change.

Keep communication simple and neutral

You don’t have to agree on everything to communicate well. The aim is to keep conversations clear, child-focused and free from blame.
Family Flow’s coaches often suggest thinking of co-parenting communication like a work meeting: polite, factual and with the children’s needs as the shared project.

Try messages like “Can we confirm drop-off at 4 p.m.?” instead of “You’re late again.” Calm language keeps everyone’s energy where it belongs, on the children.

Separate adult emotions from parenting decisions

It’s normal to feel hurt or frustrated after divorce, but children need to see stability from both sides. Family Flow helps parents recognise emotional triggers and create strategies to respond with calm instead of reaction.

That doesn’t mean ignoring your feelings, it means processing them safely, away from the children, so your parenting stays steady.

Create structure everyone can rely on

Predictability builds trust for children and reduces tension between parents. The more clearly your arrangements are set out, the fewer misunderstandings can occur later.

This is where Quickie Divorce can help. Our Child Arrangements Consent Order package turns your verbal or informal agreement into a legally binding plan. It covers where your children live, when they spend time with each parent, and how decisions are made.

The process is simple:

1. Complete our online questionnaire

2. We draft your documents, including the court forms and solicitor-approved order

3. You both sign and post it to court, with no hearings or mediation required

It’s the easiest way to protect your children’s routine and stop disputes before they start. Simply give us a call on 0800 803 0813

Look after yourself as well as your children

You can’t pour from an empty cup, and co-parenting is easier when you feel supported too. Family Flow offer one-to-one coaching and group sessions to help you rebuild confidence and manage the emotional side of co-parenting.

If you’re a Quickie Divorce client, you can access a free 45-minute clarity call with a certified Family Flow coach directly through your Client Tracker → Resources.

Co-Parenting Can Be Calm

Divorce doesn’t have to mean conflict. With clear communication, stable routines and the right emotional support, families can create a new kind of balance.

Quickie Divorce and Family Flow are here to make that transition easier, one legal step, one honest conversation, one calm decision at a time.
