⚖️ How to Put Your Child First (Without the Drama)
Conflict hurts kids the most. This child support blueprint keeps the peace:
🗓️ 1. Use a Shared Parenting Plan
Clarity prevents fights. Outline custody, holidays, and rules in writing.
📱 2. Keep Conversations Businesslike
Stick to facts, not feelings. Apps like OurFamily Wizard help manage child support communication.
👂 3. Listen to Your Child’s Input
Older kids should have a voice in child support arrangements (without burdening them).
🚫 4. Set Boundaries with Extended Family
Grandparents or new partners shouldn’t fuel tension. United child support fronts work best.
🔄 5. Be Flexible When Life Happens
Rigidity breeds resentment. Adjust schedules when needed—it’s child support, not a power struggle.
✌️ Final Thought
Less conflict = happier kids. Keep the focus on child support, not old grudges.
