👩‍⚖️ Thoughtful Thursday: “You’re Getting Along Now...”

Ah yes, love and light post-divorce.
You’re co-parenting peacefully, sharing snacks at soccer games, sending each other funny memes.

“We don’t need a custody agreement. We’re getting along.”

Cool. So were the Titanic passengers — until, you know, the iceberg.

☕ Let’s Be Real

Right now, everything’s fine.
But then someone starts dating again.
Moves two hours away.
Forgets pickup.
Changes the kid’s bedtime to “vibes only.”
Starts feeding them Pop-Tarts for dinner (again).
Suddenly, your verbal agreement becomes verbal warfare.

⚖️ Why You Need a Custody Agreement (Even If Things Are Chill)

Because “getting along” isn’t a legal strategy.
Courts don’t enforce vibes. They enforce documents.

A custody agreement means:

• Your parenting time isn’t up for interpretation

• Holidays aren’t a coin toss

• Your kid doesn’t become a power play when someone’s feelings get hurt

• You have a legal backup plan for the inevitable “what now?” moments

Without one? It’s like playing Monopoly with someone who keeps changing the rules halfway through — and calling their lawyer when you land on Boardwalk.

📉 TL;DR: No Agreement = Future Chaos

You may think you don’t need it — until you really, really do.
And when that day comes, “we were getting along” won’t matter.
What’s on paper will.

💡 Real Talk:

Get the agreement. Not because you’re planning for disaster — but because you’re planning for real life.

Because co-parenting without a custody agreement is like skydiving without a parachute... but you promise you’ll land just fine.
