“…For the moderation analysis, all moderators were entered into the model simultaneously. With respect to categorical moderators, we created dummy coded variables to examine the comparisons among categories [ 71 ]. Finally, publication bias was examined using the funnel plot and Egger’s test [ 72 ].…”

This study aimed to determine the association between coparenting behavior and children’s externalizing and internalizing problems and possible factors that may moderate their associations. A meta-analysis of 93 studies involving 41,207 participants found that coparenting behavior was slightly and significantly related to externalizing problems, r = −0.17, 95% CI [−0.194, −0.15], and internalizing problems, r = −0.16, 95% CI [−0.18, −0.14]. In addition, coparenting integrity, cooperation, conflict, competitiveness, and triangulation were significantly related to externalizing and internalizing problems. Moderation analyses revealed the following findings: (a) data reporter moderated the association between coparenting and internalizing problems, with children-report coparenting showing a significantly stronger relation with internalizing symptom than father-report coparenting; (b) developmental stage was found to moderate the association between coparenting behavior and externalizing problems, with stronger association found in childhood than in toddlerhood; (c) female percentage, individualism–collectivism culture, research methods, and publication year were not found to moderate the association between coparenting behavior and externalizing or internalizing problems. These findings help summarize the previous studies and provide an empirical basis for the relation between coparenting and child externalizing/internalizing problems, and benefits targeted interventions towards coparenting behaviors.

“…For these parents, disagreement and interparental conflict quickly resurfaced during these incidents and seemed to be experienced as unmanageable. The anger and feelings of injustice associated with marital separation can hijack parents’ ability to negotiate within the co-parenting relationship ( Cohen and Finzi-Dottan, 2012 ).…”

ObjectiveOur research aim is to enrich the conceptualization of high conflict post-divorce co-parenting by understanding the dynamic process involved.BackgroundThe studied phenomena were explored by linking previous scientific knowledge to practice.MethodWe cross-referenced the previous study results with the experiences reported by eight professionals and tried to answer the following research question: how professionals’ experience and previous scientific knowledge contribute to a better understanding of HC post-divorce co-parenting? Individual face to face interviews were conducted and analyzed regarding the qualitative theoretical reasoning of thematic analysis.ResultsAnalysis allowed us to highlight how four main axes are related to HC post-divorce co-parenting: (1) Parents for life, (2) Acting in the child’s best interests, (3) Managing disagreements, and (4) Healing the separation.ConclusionOur findings capture high conflict post-divorce co-parenting as a multidimensional dynamic process. As such, dealing with co-parenting disagreements must be understood as a moment in a process that is influenced by, and influences, other dimensions.ImplicationsInterventions must consider the four dimensions and their reciprocal interactions. The essential elements underlying parents’ difficulties may reside at a multiplicity of levels: inter-relational, contextual, and intrapsychic. Each level contains key potential factors in understanding these families, and in formulating intervention guidelines.

“…To date, research has primarily focused on co‐parenting behaviour among separated or divorced parents (Cohen & Finzi‐Dottan, 2012; Herrero et al, 2020; Lamela & Figueiredo, 2016). Far less is known about the factors associated with co‐parenting in parents who have not separated or divorced.…”

The relationship between co‐parenting, parent mental health and parenting remains unclear for parents during the postnatal period, particularly fathers. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate these relationships for families in the postnatal period. Routinely collected self‐report data from 138 mothers and 138 fathers participating in Family Foundations, a co‐parenting intervention facilitated by a community health service in Melbourne, were used. Path analysis revealed that for mothers, more supportive co‐parenting was associated with fewer mental health difficulties and, in turn, low parenting hostility and high parenting warmth. For fathers, supportive co‐parenting was associated with fewer mental health difficulties, which was associated with low parenting hostility but not parenting warmth. Co‐parenting was also directly associated with parenting warmth and hostility for fathers. The findings highlighted some key differences between mothers and fathers and the importance of interventions targeting the co‐parenting relationship during early childhood.
