“…The efficacy of program intervention with families undergoing parental breakup has been substantiated by the literature (Novo et al, 2019;O'Hara et al, 2021;Wolchik et al, 2021). Moreover, regardless as to whether programs are obligatory or voluntary, they are beneficial for users (LaGraff et al, 2015). The results corroborated that separation was a public health problem (Wolchik et al, 2021), and interventions were effective in reducing psychological maladjustment.…”

La literatura establece que el conflicto inter-parental, más que la separación, puede causar daños severos a progenitores e hijos e hijas con efectos que pueden perdurar en la etapa adulta. Se diseñaron programas educativos y de apoyo en la separación para ayudar a las parejas a afrontar la ruptura de pareja. Este artículo examina el programa educativo para la separación de referencia en España, el programa ‘Ruptura de Pareja, no de Familia’ (RPNF) que está basado en el paradigma de la Justicia Terapéutica. Para evaluar los efectos del programa RPNF, 861 usuarios del programa (439 padres y 422 madres) fueron evaluados en el ajuste psicológico, en la relación y los acuerdos alcanzados entre los progenitores, y en la satisfacción con el programa. Los resultados revelaron efectos positivos y significativos en el ajuste psicológico (una mejora en todos los marcadores de salud mental y una mejoría en el malestar general del 61%); una mejoría significativa en las relaciones parentales pasando de un relación mala a una relación dirigida al mejor interés del menor y alcanzando acuerdos en el estilo de crianza de los hijos e hijas; e informando de una satisfacción significativa con la participación en el programa (la participación en el programa explicó el 72,3% de la varianza de la satisfacción). Se discuten las implicaciones de la intervención dirigida a la promoción de una parentalidad positiva en la atenuación de los efectos adversos en los miembros de la familia.

“…A meta‐analysis of 28 randomized control trials indicates that many coparenting programs effectively increase cooperative coparenting among parents living apart with an average small to medium effect ( r = .21) (Eira Nunes et al, 2021). Longitudinal evaluations of state‐wide mandatory coparenting programs, such as coparenting for Successful Kids (Choi et al, 2019; Wang et al, 2021) and Parenting Apart: Effective Coparenting (Rector LaGraff et al, 2015), also show positive changes in coparenting between parents after relationship dissolution. Other programs increasing unmarried fathers' involvement in coparenting may also benefit child development.…”

IntroductionCoparenting in unmarried families is a protective factor for positive adolescent adjustment. Although the relations between coparenting and adolescent outcomes have been investigated, it remains unclear whether the specific patterns of maternal and paternal coparenting are associated with adolescent behavioral outcomes.MethodsThe present study includs a longitudinal cohort of 1143 triads of unmarried parents and their adolescents to examine the associations between different patterns of coparenting and adolescent behavioral problems and delinquency. The data were drawn from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study in the United States. Our study used six waves of publicly available data at children's birth, ages 1, 3, 5, 9, and 15.ResultsThe latent profile analyses identified four coparenting profiles of maternal and paternal coparenting perceived by the other unmarried parent. Comparing average levels of coparenting between mothers and fathers, the profiles were entitled Low Mom‐Low Dad, High Mom‐Medium Dad, Low Mom‐Medium Dad, and High Mom‐High Dad. Parents characteristics, such as cohabitation and marital status, predicted the likelihood of being in cooperative coparenting profiles. Furthermore, all the identified coparenting profiles predicted adolescent externalizing behavioral problems; only the high mom cooperative coparenting profiles predicted adolescent internalizing behavioral problems; none of the coparenting profiles predicted adolescent delinquency.ConclusionsOur study adds empirical evidence for coparenting research by revealing that coparenting patterns vary in unmarried families and that cooperative coparenting benefits child behavioral outcomes. The findings encourage introducing different coparenting training programs targeting unmarried parents' diverse needs, thus promoting positive adolescent adjustment.

“…Some programs, aimed at families, involved acquiring knowledge about divorce. The results showed positive changes on parents´ knowledge about divorce, about the effects of divorce on children, about what is cooperative co-parenting, and about post-divorce parenting (48). Other articles included differences in perceived knowledge concerning gender, race/ethnicity, and marital status (49).…”

Co-parenting after divorce is the relationship of mutual collaboration, support and communication between two parents no longer romantically linked to each other, who work together to raise and care for their children together. Over the past decade, research on co-parenting after divorce has increased. Therefore, the question arises as: what has been published in the last decade on co-parenting after divorce or separation? The aim of this study was to collect, review and synthesize articles published in scientific databases about co-parenting after divorce, to inform about the state of the art on this topic in the last decade to update professionals, academics and researchers who work in the family area, such as social workers, psychologists or lawyers. Thus, a systematic literature review was carried out in seventeen academic databases during August and September 2023. This systematic literature review followed the preferred reporting protocol for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA-P) and it was registered in PROSPERO (ID=CRD42022306146). Twenty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria and the quality of each one of them was evaluated with the MMAT instrument. Data were analyzed following the guide for narrative synthesis in systematic reviews. The results show that most of the articles were published during the year 2017, mostly they were from the United States, the type of studies were investigation, with a quantitative design whose participants were fathers and mothers (not dyads). Three recurring themes were identified in the included studies. The three themes were named as: (1) co-parenting categories, (2) components, and (3) interventions. In addition, an integration of the study variables found in the included articles is included and they are organized into four dimensions: positive and negative co-parental relationships, and internal and external factors. It is recommended to regulate through public policies that divorced parents attend interventions or psychoeducational programs as a compulsory stage of the divorce process to promote good co-parenting and prevent conflictive co-parenting relationships.
