There are many resources available to parents who are divorcing,
among them books, websites, films, and support groups. The
following are some links to helpful Internet sites:
http://www.stepfamily.net/
This site (Stepfamily Network) is designed for stepfamilies and claims
to be the most visited such site on the web. It is worthwhile because
there is a great deal of feedback from families and a good amount of
sharing.
http://apa.org/ppo/issues/divorcechild.html
This is a one page "briefing sheet" on the psychological effects of
divorce on children. It also has some helpful additional links to the
literature on this topic.
http://divorcesupport.about.com/
You may be familiar with About.com which is a site that links to all
kinds of self-help and other information. Their "divorce support"
section has a wealth of good material on a wide variety of subjects.
http://www.divorcenet.com/
Divorce Net is an excellent site with much valuable general information
about divorcing and parenting. It also has links to specific states,
with family law information, news and community resources.
http://www.sharedground.com/
This is a site where you can purchase software to organize visitation
for shared parenting arrangements. They offer a very effective
"shared parenting calendar."

org/mental/coparenting_shared_parenting_divorce.htm
Part of the general site "HelpGuide", a non-commercial site for advice
and guidance for mental health matters, this is a very good summary
of the issues that arise in co-parenting.

This is an extremely comprehensive site, called My Divorce. which was
created by a group of matrimonial lawyers in Florida. While some of
the legal information is specific to that state, the overall site
(dedicated to "knowledge is power") addresses multiple aspects of
the process and has a strong focus on the emotional impact on
children. Well worth giving it a look.

There are three books I suggest for divorcing parents that I refer to as
"required reading." Both parents should take time to read each of them:
The Co-Parenting Survival Guide
