Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Today's guests, Diane Dierks and Rick Voyles, co-hosts of the Co-Parent Dilemmas podcast, are experts in navigating the complexities of co-parenting, especially in high-conflict situations.

In each episode, they address pressing questions such as:

What do you do when the other parent won't be flexible with the parenting schedule?

How do you respond to a co-parent who is constantly blowing up your phone with texts?

Is it really important to talk to your children when they are at the other parent's house?

And what about the parent who won't share important information with you about the children?

Do you give in to the other parent's antics or should you hold your ground?

There are at least two sides to every conflict, and when it's between divorced or separated parents, sparks can fly. Diane and Rick offer valuable insights into the benefits and risks of Letting Go vs. Holding On to the conflict in a variety of complex topics facing co-parents today.
