I am a family law attorney and I request that all of my clients purchase this book and implement its suggestions from the onset of every case. I can see a drastic change in the way every client that has purchased and utilized the suggestions in this book communicate with the former significant other, which always proves useful for court as well as useful for a lifetime of communicating with an ex. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Best read by BOTH parents *by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2017* I didn't like that the first 2 or 3 chapters were the authors basically hammering you with "YOU ARE ADDICTED TO CONFLICT". That being said, once you get through those first chapters they actually begin to discuss methods for you to recognize the onset of conflict in order to avoid it or how to navigate the conflict effectively. Another thing that isn't really the books fault, but one that it recognizes, is that this is definitely best read by both parents just like any parenting class should be attended (separately) by both parents. This is arguably a great read for any individual, regardless of being in an intact marriage, separated, or simply considering having children with your current spouse. It focuses on how your actions effect the children not just now, but for the rest of their lives, forcing you to reflect on the way you have been parenting or makes you consider the momentous decision to start a family and all that it entails. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most important books I've ever read... *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2010* ...and I was an English major, so I've read a lot of books.During our separation, my wife and I were in parent coordination and on a direct course for a custody evaluation and full-blown custody fight. We both were sure that we were "high-conflict," and could barely speak to each other without expressing hostility, contempt and mistrust, even in front of our kids. Despite having our own lawyers and shrinks, a mediator, and a parent coordinator, nobody noticed that our pendente lite parenting plan was horrible with all its transitions. It increased our conflict. Nobody told me stop fighting for more parenting time at the expense of quality parenting time. Nobody stopped the madness to point out that my wife and I actually agreed on a whole lot more than what we disagreed on.Our parent coordinator suggested that we read "Joint Custody with a Jerk." Obviously, she didn't get us. The title alone was a turn-off to both of us. So, in reading the amazon reviews for "Jerk," I found this book. Amazingly, reading it has turned everything around for us.Based on the guidance in this book, I discovered that our acrimony in trying to co-parent was pretty much just the residue of the conflict that ended our marriage (exacerbated by our "support networks"). I realized that we trusted each other in most aspects of parenting (as opposed to being a spouse) and, therefore, could (and should) discuss our infrequent differences in parenting in a respectful, business-like way. Of the four levels of conflict outlined in this book (level 1 being cooperative, level 4 being high-conflict), I was amazed to discover that we were only level 2 with just moments of level 4 from time to time. Level 1 seemed within reach. This book gives you a concise, no-nonsense road map to getting there.Since reading this book and putting its guidance in practice, transitions in parenting-time have gotten better, and my divorce-related stress has decreased.It's tough work not to revert. The theme of this book is that co-parents must extinguish their conflict addiction because it is harmful to your kids, to your relationship with them, and, ultimately, to yourself. The bitter medicine that this book prescribes is that you must communicate with your co-parent *more* than you did before you divorced--more than when you were happily married even. Sounds ridiculous, right? It's not. If you can buy-in to that, you're on your way.If you're a divorced parent, read this book; take the medicine; and figure out a way to talk to your co-parent--a lot. You'll be grateful to the authors, like I am. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4637693-the-co-parenting-survival-guide-letting-go-of-conflict-after](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4637693-the-co-parenting-survival-guide-letting-go-of-conflict-after) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
