Is Joint Decision-Making Right for You?

from Divorce with Sam and Leah Hosted by Sam and Leah

Joint decision-making sounds fair in theory—two parents sharing responsibility for major decisions like school, medical care, and more. But in practice, it only works if both parties can actually function like a team. In this episode, we’re breaking down 5 essential things that must be in place for joint legal custody to work—plus what happens when you’re co-parenting with a high-conflict ex who can’t meet those standards. If your co-parent refuses to compromise, constantly creates chaos, or uses communication as a weapon, this is for you. You’ll walk away with clarity, validation, and a better understanding of what’s realistic—and what’s not—when it comes to making big decisions together after divorce. 🎧 Press play and take notes—this episode could save you a ton of stress (and legal fees). 👉 Ready for more tools, support, and strategies for high-conflict co-parenting?
