Co-parenting refers to a parenting situation where adults share the duties of parenting a child.[1] Its original meaning was mostly related to united families. However, since the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 20 November 1989, the principle that a child has to continue to maintain a strong relationship with both parents, even if separated, has become more and more a recognized right. Thus, the concept of co-parenting was extended to separated and divorced families as well.
