Free Online Support Groups for Co-Parenting
Co-parenting after divorce means staying connected to an ex-partner through your children, often while navigating conflict, different parenting styles, and the emotional weight of the divorce itself. Free peer support groups offer space to talk about that with others who are living it.
Live groups available daily.

Understanding co-parenting
The end of a relationship, especially a marriage, can feel like the ground has shifted under you. Divorce brings grief, identity shifts, and the challenge of starting over, often with little space to process. Peer support helps normalize this major life transition. In a judgment-free space, people share their stories, offer insights, and find encouragement — proving that healing is not only possible, but stronger together.
How peer support helps with co-parenting
Peer support helps with co-parenting because the stress is ongoing and specific in ways that people outside the situation rarely understand. A group of other co-parents can offer perspective, practical experience, and the validation that what you are dealing with is genuinely hard.
What co-parenting groups often cover
- Communication and conflict with a co-parent who may still be a source of stress
- Custody schedules, logistics, and the emotional difficulty of shared parenting
- Showing up for your children while also working through your own grief and adjustment
- What healthier co-parenting dynamics have looked like for other group members over time
Who these groups may help
- Parents sharing custody after divorce or separation
- Anyone navigating a difficult or high-conflict co-parenting relationship
- People who want peer support from others who understand what shared parenting actually involves
