Struggling with limited visitation, financial stress, and rising tension in your co-parenting relationship? You’re not alone—and this episode is for you.

In this impactful episode of 15 Minutes with Dad, we dive into the real-world story of Alex, an HVAC technician navigating financial hardship and the emotional toll of limited visitation with his kids. Through his lens, we unpack the co-parenting challenges so many fathers face—and offer real strategies to address them with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to identify and manage common co-parenting triggers like money, time constraints, and legal hurdles
  • Why choosing your battles can preserve peace and protect your child’s emotional well-being
  • The importance of keeping the parent-child relationship front and center, even in difficult conversations
  • How effective communication, active listening, and calm speaking can defuse tension and promote collaboration
  • Ways to apply child-centered solutions that prioritize connection over conflict

💡 This is more than just parenting advice—it’s a reminder that showing up with emotional regulation, grace, and intentional parenting can reshape how your child experiences love and safety during complex family transitions.
