Co-Parenting? Is that equal time with the kids? Should it be?

The majority of co-parenting plans approved by the courts give the Mother the vast majority of parenting time with the children. Fathers often feel like occasional visitors in their children’s lives. Mothers often have a greater influence on their child’s development in the pre-teen years. To the dismay of many Dads, once the children enter their teen years they’re less inclined to spend their free time with Dad due to heightened social interaction.
