Low trust
When a you don’t believe that your ex-spouse can manage parenting independently then there is likely to be resistance to co-parenting.
Fear of the unknown
One of the most common reasons for resistance is fear of the unknown. Majority of times people going through a divorce will only take active steps toward the unknown if they genuinely believe – and perhaps more importantly, feel that the risks of standing still are greater than those of moving
forward in a new direction.
Temporary fad
When you believe that the change initiative is a temporary fad and your spouse will be returning to the matrimonial home.
Not being consulted
If you were part of the divorce decision there is less resistance. You will cooperate and are likely to co-parent and settle the divorce outside the courts.
